If that's a normal garage and not a mate he is looking at about 600. A mate, who knows.

i just had to spend the best part of a grand on my Vivaro in December
Only to drive to Manchester and find and oil leak 2 weeks before Christmas (oil seal) 10p washer but tat would be to easy had to buy some whole kit thing £100 + and because the clever designers thought they may aswell please it at the bak of the engine just to add a couple or three hours labour down another 300 notes ( I was not best please) me and vans have a love hate relationship ( spent best part of 6k on a relay I had with only 24k on the clock  :(

On the positive side it works now :)
