Hi, Have a 110 HDI Executive V Plate. The clutch is slipping and i am having trouble selecting 3rd gear! I have been quoted £900 and £635 is this about right?

Mine was around £750 for a new clutch and DMF.
If they have quoted you those prices for just the clutch then stay well clear.
The place I went to initially wanted to charge no more than £500 (was told it would be less if they took less time) They advised me to get the DMF replaced as the clutch had scored it and would be worthwhile having it changed at the same time as the clutch as it wouldnt cost me any more in labour. If I had to have the DMF replaced at a later stage I would have to pay for labour again.

You want a clutch and flywheel, the flywheel (dual mass) will be shot and will probably only kill a new clutch kit.
the bad news is the flywheels are about £200! Its a big job too about 7 hours as the gear box has to come off. Cost me about £800 for mine (had the crankshaft oil seal changed as well), much less than this and i would be concerned they were going to do a bodge job or use low quality parts.
The good news is that someone (Valeo?) do a solid flywheel conversion kit, which costs less that DMF + clutch and is unlikely to go again

Just done the clutch on one of my 110's, got the 4 piece kit from Unipart Part No. GCK4004AF( it's a Valeo kit in a Unipart box), Should have been £305 + vat, but haggled it down to £200+vat.
Not too bad to do, as per Haynes except I took the complete battery box out to give more room, I managed to release the clutch slave without undoing the hydraulics & I managed to swap the flywheel & clutch without completely removing the box (saves dropping the suspension), It's a scrat but there was just enough room to move the 'box to the side & work in the bellhousing.
