Citroen Independent Warrington Area?

Hi, been lurking a while and time for my first post! I have just bought a cheap 2005 C5 1.8 (facelift model) and need to get the clutch changed pretty soon as it judders badly when setting off.

It was a trade sale off ebay and I bought it cheap enough, so just got to take the hit. I've done a bit of googling and it seems like a common problem on the C5. I'm looking for a reliable Citroen independent specialist in the Warrington area to fit a new one and replace the rear crank seal at the same time - any recommendations from members of the board that have had work done?

I will most likely supply the clutch as there seems some pretty good ebay bargains for decent makes such as motaquip, unless anybody can also recommend a cheap supplier of parts too?

Cheers,
Chrisall

Nearest one I have used and can recommend is Paris autos in Stockport. Usually got a few copies of ccc knocking about and I'm sure if you ask nice can drop off and pick up from the station a few miles away.

Firstly,

Secondly, I'll have a chat to the taxi driver's this afternoon when I get into work, there are usually 3 or 4 on the rank with C5's.

Thirdly, I know of one in Southport and one in Blackpool, if you get really stuck
