Local garages that are happy to fit customer parts?

[bishbash]

The clutch is slipping on my focus st170, and as times are hard I've been looking at ebay for a replacement and seen that I can get a reconditioned one for around £100.

But it's beyond my skills to change it myself, so does anyone know of a reasonable local garage (Cardiff/Pontyclun but anywhere local really) that are happy to fit customer supplied parts.

The car is going on for 115000 miles so I really don't want to spend a fortune (which I haven't got) on it.

Also would a slipping clutch be an mot failure, from what I've read I don't think it is?

Garage fits your clutch, clutch fails after a week, garage says it was a fauklty part, where do you stand.

If you want someone else to fit the part let them supply or fit a part that they will stand by and warranty.

My 2p

Understood, but potentially a risk I'm willing to take.

But maybe one the garage isn't going to!

Hence the question!

Yeah, still looking for someone, well to be honest haven't looked properly yet. I'm picking up a flywheel today, and I got the clutch earlier this week, I wanted to have everything in hand before approaching anyone. Can you pm me his details if you don't want to leave them here.
cheers.

If you're still looking, I can recommend Ken at Maynard Motor Services on Coedcae Lane in Pontyclun:

A couple of years ago he fitted a wheel bearing I supplied, along with fitting a gearbox into a mates Shogun - he doesn't seem too bothered about supplying the parts himself.
