what i wanna know is how much they would have charged if i left the car in to them?

€279 for a flywheel
the were looking for €233 for a valeo(shit) clutch which i found another price on a site in the uk for the same valeo clutch for £37

so vaux's price... €237+€233 = €470 + €300 labour? €770? about £460ish??
