Took the Octy to a very good garage a few miles away for a new clutch - £550 all in with gearbox oil change. Turns out this was an excellent price for a full Sachs DMF clutch kit fully fitted
The downside was that this replaced the crap SMF conversion that was completed with poor quality parts against my wishes - clutch only lasted 29,000 miles and less than 3 years (£576).
In the last few weeks I've spent £345 on a timing belt change, £550 on the clutch, and £260 on 4 tyres and tracking - let's hope that's it for the next 60,000 miles at least (timing belt is around 6 years and 60,000). The original clutch lasted 139,000, so I'm expecting great things from this one
If you add in the £400 I wasted on the crappy SMF kit, that'd make an expenditure of £1555. However, if I saw an old Octy with all that stuff done on it, I'd be happy to buy for that price!
