Hello ya’ll. Getting some work done on the cos (as above) with someone new. Just wanted to check what a rough price would be for this to ensure I don’t get done. Tis on the front of the Escos.

Can't remember cost, but get them to use a genuine Ford boot as iirc they're thicker/more robust than pattern ones.

 

Cheers Luv

Do you know how many hours (ish) the job should take?

 

less than an hour
less than an hours labour charge
so if they want more than £30 for it ask why

seriously, i've had new cv's fitted for £90 included parts and labour so i can't see it being LOADS of money to do
just make sure they don't break anything else in the procces though, the bottom pinch bolts can be a nightmare if they've rusted into place

 

Dojj cheers Dude. I shall use that as a margin

 

it's as easy as:

car in the air
wheel off
pop the lower ball joint
remove gaitor
split joint/driveshaft (1 circlip)
remove old grease
fit new grease
fit new boot
pop back together
bottom ball joint back in
wheel on
lower car to the ground

20 minutes with air tools if you are in a hurry

 

most will go by ICME times and charge accordingly.

if anything is siezed then it's more.

I charge £70 all-in for most cars, £90 for Passats/A4's.

 

personally i'd rather do a passat that anything else, they're well easy when you get the hang of it.

i've got pattern ones on the front of mine and they were £3.50 each. took under a hour to do. although i cheated and undid the arb and the bottom arm away from the sub-frame as i knew the bottom pinch bolt would be a mare so i left it in place.

 

Cheers guys, seriously, it's appreciated.

Moose, I'll use 70 quid as my all in price then? BTW, I see Berks.. whereabouts are you?

 

I'm in Wokingham by J10 M4

ICME states 1.1 hours so you work off that.

Cola - seriously , if you're willing to travel, i'll do it cheaper if you're serious.

PM me if you want

 

Got it done now mate cheers for offer though
