Clutch Failure! Stuck In Newark Notts.

[MannyLexman]

Hi all!

I am currently stuck in Newark, Notts. as my 2000 'W' Is200 Sport broke down on the A1 with clutch failure.

Can anyone recommend a good, reliable, Lexus savvy garage in the area who will be able to put a new clutch in for me tomorrow Tuesday 10th April 2012?

Also anyone know what the max I should expect to pay for a new clutch fitted?

Thanks!

Assuming that it isn't just a simple hydraulic failure which would be fairly cheap (likely a floppy pedal with possibly hydraulic fluid dripping from the bell-housing).

Otherwise, for a slipping clutch that has finally died etc; a big spread of price is likely because it depends on what is replaced. If the dual-mass flywheel needs to be replaced, this will add a large chunk. At your car's age this could apply - even as a precaution.

Either way, not a difficult or complicated job for any half-way decent mechanic who uses proper spares.

Hopefully someone on here can recommend somewhere trustworthy in that area - or at a probable premium price: a Lexus Garage.
