It's not that difficult, if you're working on your own it should take you know more than 3 hours comfortably.

I must replace my rear crankshaft oil seal too. I remember when I had my old 200TDi the chap I bought it off had said that he'd recently replaced it and that it was the worst job he had ever done. Not sure why, but he's definitely worried me.

No more than 3 hours? This is a landy mind.

Had this before and it was just a seized clutch slave, worth a check before you strip it all down.

Spigot bush (goes in end of crankshaft and gearbox input shaft runs in it)

Allow a full day to work in comfort. I should say 6-8 hours should do it (including cleaning the mess you'll probably find in the bell housing, taking multiple tea breaks, stretching your back, etc. Not a difficult job by any means. There's just a lot to be taken apart and everything is pretty heavy.

I'd be interested to know the labour cost of a 300tdi clutch replacement and crank seal

No, I don't think it will. Also needs to be soaked in oil for 24 hours prior to installation. See this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAqeS3I79bI

Took me and my mate about 6 hours over 3 nights to do mine, might have bin faster in a full day with no beer,

Never knew that, dint do mine I replaced the bush but never soaked it in oil

Phosphor bronze (and similar) bushes are slightly porous so soaking them in oil effectively provides a small reservoir of oil to stop things seizing up. If yours has been ok for a while then there should be sufficient clearances so as not to cause any future issues
