If you take off the scuttle it's dead easy and should only take 20mins from start to finish including replacing the coolant :y



The previous owner of my car was charged 2 hours labour (£120) for this simple but awkward job....(I have the invoice)

He was also charged £320 for a new exhaust from ATS......says it all really... ::) ::) ::)

Been working on the car for half hour in this heat replacing the hbv!! So far have taken the scuttle & wipers off, taken the old hbv off with a few swear words!!!!!!!!! and put new one on but still got to put the hose clips in place and then top up with anti-freeze etc.

Back indoors to cool off and have a drink before finishing off.  :y
