And thats 5 hours you won't get back !!

Much better on a ramp - fitted in 15 mins and then for the next 4 hrs 45 mins.

with MB. I don't trust anyone to do any work to my car, as I like things done properly and no short cuts taken. Also I find it helps with your undertsanding of how things work and where they gowhat they do.

I swapped my exhaust over a couple of weekends back on my own, no hassle. That's something else I can tick off that I've done. Next will be a manifold

Use plenty of Plus Gas, replace all the nuts, put on a new gasket, take your time and you'll be fine

I suppose I'm quite lucky then. My local mechanic is also my neighbour, he's got no problem with me jumping in and giving a hand when working on my car.

Ok I still get charged a very reasonable cash in hand fee but also get use of the ramps and a comprehensive tool kit

I'd be interested to hear what you think about it, and photos are always nice

Where did you get it from, and how much was it all in?
