A single to three normal working days, for a proper job, one man working
solely on the one vehicle. As above, a weekend sounds about right, ish ..
A lot, however, depends upon how he can get to various bits. If he has a
full on lift, a la Kwik fit et all, then it could be much easier and
quicker. If he's working from a pit it's a little less easy, and if he's
using ramps and jacks then some bits can be very awkward.
I would have been ****ed at leaving it for four days with no work being
done.
