Is that not 3-400 over the odds(however not familiar with fords or how long it takes) ? Get quotes from a few independent mechanics too.

Above was cheapest for me. Actually recommended by a different garage I had rang that were well off the mark. Different car to yours but still worth a call.

Local guys saying 850 and above. But they hate doing it. Specialists tools etc.

It's a full days work for someone.

They are nowhere near as bad to do as some people make them out to be. We do them for €650 which I think is a fair price based on the parts and labour involved. There must be somebody down your way who will do it for a similar price if you shop around.
