I would have said a couple of hundred is fair.  If you supply the parts. I wouldnt tackle it yourself, if you dont have the correct knowledge, or tools.

There are a couple of professional tools you will need. One is a special spanner to get the fan off. The other is a good torque wrench.

Not the easiest DIY job

Im lucky, its my game. :)

Kev, depending on when you are doing it, if you get stuck i could give you a hand, have done a few in the past. like has been said a couple of the tasks can be tough, removing the pulley bolt and pulley, but upto now i've managed with a little help from my friends, then again that's wot it's all about, helping each other......

As Neil says, its relatively easy, as I saw, but then again the pulley and nut were ok. To tell the truth mine was not done more than 20k ago we reckon. So was relatively easy

If its a swine to release just bad luck then, name of the game with these vehicles

well, for garages ...

I got quoted at £100 for mine, and should the tensioner and pulley not have needed replacing it would have been that, sadly they did so it ended up at £148.

Still, that's in lancashire (contact ninety for more information if needed) but I would have thought you should be able to find similar locally.

£27-50 for parts  :wink:

Labour, four hours of my own time  :lol: Worst part was the long bolts around the waterpump, had to be very careful not to snap 'em as they were corroded in  :cry:

Kev just let me know when and i'll do my best!! If you want you could bring it to my house and do it here when it warms up(maybe 1 Saturday) that way if we struggle i have a few friends nearby to help.Not onlt that but it will be easier for me to get any tools needed from work on the day,

regards Neil...
