    8 - 12 hours depending on the knowledge of the person doing it and the stuboness of bolts

    Very very much like an Evo so expect to pay £250 -£300 for the fitting ex parts

    One more point make sure that you get someone who know's what they are doing to fit it ,m theres has been a number of people on MLR use a guy off ebay who claims to be a expert , needless to say he went missing when someones gearbox lost all oil due his lack of bolting the drian plug in properly

    Unless your release bearing sticks to the pressure plate and you have to end up grinding the bugger off. Then it takes considerably longer.

    That is a very cheap price for a garage to be charging though.... expect more in the £40per hour region
