I needed a clutch slave cylinder rubber. Old money about sixpence. Ford wanted £1500 and no doubt get away with this daylight robbery clearly. they moved the slave cylinder inside the bellhousing, so a job that used to take 30mins and cost pennies now costs an arm and a leg with new clutch, dmf etc The result I would never touch Ford again or any other company that does this. I’d rather buy an old Anglia and potter about in that then get scammed every time I go to a garage for a quote.
