I got a quote for a new clutch (between ?400-500) this is from Dulwich Test & Service Centre on Hindmans Road. I normally go there and think they give a fair deal. He said I should try one of the big Clutch Replacement Service Centres where I might get a better quote. Does anyone know what a fair price is for a new Clutch I have no idea. My car's an old banged up '96 ford mondeo

Thanks for your advice

Difficult to know for sure but I recently had an aircon pipe replaced by them. The bill was ?400 of which ?150 was labour. Their labour charge is ?50/hr +vat but I know for a fact that it took longer. VW garage quoted ?560 for the same work.


Banged up or not the parts may be expensive and you are looking at at least 2 hours labour. A Spec**list clutch place may well do it cheaper as they would have a more specific supply chain.

It's just one of those things you have to stump up for. Sadly....

I shall try South London Clutch Centre for a quote, I've got that hard decision as it's due it's MOT and a needs a new clutch an I don't know whether to get a new car or spend approx ?600 (including MOT) on getting this fixed. The trouble is the car's probably only worth about that much but it has a recently new engine and good bodywork and to me is worth a lot more than what I reckon I could get elsewhere for ?600. I don't know whether it's better the devil you know.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
