Can't remember costs at Vx but expensive
£55/h and about 3 hr's labour plus the cost of the parts !!!!!
i think with somethin like that id rather pay to get a pro to do it as marv once told me his mate had his done at vx or somewhere and it fecked up 3 wk later and the garage had to sort the engine.
i wouldnt fancy replacing 24valves, 4 cams and 6 pistons

it aint difficult to change, you just gotta know how to find TDC and you need the tools to lock the rollers in place. im gonna do it tomorrow. Am i right in sayin that on a 1.2 8v i just need the belt and the roller/tentioner?
