MOT day... wish me luck!

[Mags]

Can you not do some of the work yourself?
Surely the parts off here + doing the labour yourself would make it cost like a third that?

[MasterAuron]

Cost if you payed some spanner-jockey to do the work: £733

Cost if you did it yourself: £100 in parts if that?

Absolutely no need to break it.

[Tonygt]

Do it your self or with a mate, get a haynes manual and take your time.

Its easy as to fix if your patient

[danmotty]

im sure ive changed swanny actuator in situe before, was fiddly but my lord, much preffered over removing the turbo.

at least i think i did, maybe i just thought about it

bring it to me to fix, i need to make some money

[kayzee]

I have no time, and no knowledge to attempt anything myself. He says the fuel "system" as he puts it, that needs replacing is £550 alone. He said he can tell it's been bodged before and he can't do it again, it's dangerous. This guy doesn't muck about he's a friend of the family...

If anyone reckons they could do everything for under £250 in a weekend then be my guest to give it a go!

[Tom]

The most your fuel system would need is a new tank and pump I would imagine, very simple to do.

Why not speak to danmotty or Dean, they are over your way and would do it for a lot less than that!

[danmotty]

source the parts, ie. fuel tank,pump,lines i have a fuel rail you could have with the injectors and ill fit it all in a day for ya for £100

can do the handbrake and electrics too again with the parts supplied.

will leave it with you

[kayzee]

Cheers I'll have a think over this weekend before I jump into anything either way... but I'm thinking I might just chuck it up for £500 see if anyone wants it that has hands on knowledge to fix it on the cheap.

[PUNTOGT1997]

i would take dan up on his offer sounds like a good idea to me

[beau]

im sure i can help, you only have to ask, your only a 1 minute drive too so let me know
