Ah suppose it depends on where he buys the replacement parts and what he charges per hour. Why didn't ye just do the jobs yerself?

 

[rafa_surf]

ah dont know wat i'm doin otherwise I Would!!!say £30 an hour buster..

Ah didn't know what ah was doin' when a got mine, soon learned after ah got a nice bill from the garage!! Get a manual and maybe use some of the stuff off this site. It's not really that hard.... honest And if ye get stuck with summit... just ask

rekon its the fear of reet knackerin somethin and makin it worse than before i had a crack!i'l take th plunge soon though, wiv this CREDIT CRUNCH we're all apparently in't middle of!d'ya ave a guess of ow many hours that work would resonably take?mot was £45, and front shock labour and parts was also £45.

 

[bustersbus]

VERY ROUGHLY workin' it out, ah reckon ye'll not be a kick in the erse of £450-£500 with parts and labour

 

[bustersbus]

Takin' into account the price for mot and shox, the parts maybe come in around £204-ish and possibly 7hrs labour around £210- ish

 

[rafa_surf]

blimey!gulp, rito, bests make this me last pint for a while,better make it last....

 

[Trewey]

yup - I'm wiv Buster.

If he's good and experienced, he might have done it a bit quicker, so labour might be a bit less.
Assume £500, but be pleasantly surprised if it's less.

blimey!gulp, rito, bests make this me last pint for a while,better make it last....

That's just my guesstamation, it might be cheaper
