Would need about a ton of counterweights and tyres more knobbly than MTRs.....hmm sounds like a plan

Book time to remove body, fit a turbo and refit body is 18 hours... As per usual, dealers charge book rate rather than actual time

dealer rate of 150 an hour plus Vat

This is the 2nd issue.

A turbo swap in reality is 10-12 hrs, providing everything is straight forward, no seizures etc. At an indy, your labour bill would be around £4-500 + VAT.

The same job at a dealer @ £150 + VAT per hour is £2700 + VAT. A good indy could supply and fit BOTH turbo's for less than that...

The closest main dealer local to me is £106 + VAT, which is still £1900 + VAT...

I run a TDV6 D3, never felt the need for a warranty. Just lucky I can do the work myself I guess
