Hi, 
 
Has anyone undertaken this procedure before? Im just wondering whether to do it myself or take it to a garage... and how much does a clutch from vaux cost actually? 
 
Any tips / pointers? 
 
Cheers

you'll probably have to take the gearbox off the engine. 
Think it would be easier to undo the pressure plate with the gearbox still attached. Then unbolts and slide to one side, to remove the pressure plate and clutch then slide the new ones on and put the gearbox back together so it located the clutch, then bolt the pressure plate back on.
