daniel_g Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 If you supply the parts to them it'll be cheaper. Theres a HG in the forsale section for 30 odd quid, headbolts are pretty cheap and so are timing belts which id replace whilst its off. Possibly a head skim 40 quid. Everything else should be ok. Then garage labour depending on where you go will be between 40 - 80 odd quid an hour at about 4 hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
