They are well expensive mate to buy the installation kit etc just for 1 job.

Its probably worth taking it to someone who already has all the kit etc.

Can get the kit locally for Ł19

Will cost Ł8 each to have them fitted at engine recon place - reckon there are 3-4 of them needing doing.

I'm still in two minds!!!

Cheers for the help
