If you willing to bring your connect across, then I can do it for you no problem.
I would take me about 1, 1/2 hours to complete. (EGR cooler & exhaust mainfold has to be removed first before I can remove inlet manifold)
Simple job for me too do so £30 will be fine :wink:

Would be easier if dropped off on a saturday morning then picked up next day (Sunday afternoon)
I have to leave for for a couple of hours for engine to cool down, before I start :!:
