To be fair that doesn't seem too bad, considering the work that seems to be involved and the need for the special tool.
Think I'll get it booked in on Monday, as 3 hours in the workshop would probably equate to 6 on the drive, and my elderly neighbour blushing at language.
Thanks all, I'll post a link to the video I found in case any body fancies a go.
