apart from tea and biscuits what would you charge or expect to pay ?
this job does involve a fair bit of work , the easiest way imo is to remove engine and box then re-fit and a right chew on with doing the pedals .
i'm not looking to drum up business as i'm far too busy .
so c'mon what would you charge , parts of the cuntry will differ i know .
e30 325i auto to manual average cost ?

£300? Not that I would do it for someone, but I reckon thats what it would be worth.

X5 V8 for thrills, CRV for chills, Range Rover P38 V8 for sooooo much aggravation...

i would think that's cheap considering the work involved + with 27 year old bolts that don't want to play ball and the pedals are i right chew on like .Jesus325iTouring wrote:£300? Not that I would do it for someone, but I reckon that's what it would be worth.

Just because some thing is cheap, doesn't mean it doesn't produce a proper job, in some some cases yes, but not always.martauto wrote:That is far too cheap for a proper job !

Probably a days work on a good day? Assuming you don't get no trouble. If I'm doing side jobs now days I want £50 per hour otherwise I can't be bothered. So I'd say £400 is about right.

yeah it's doable in a day with a ramp but on your own it'll take about 2 days , £400 is about where it should be but if i were paying i'd take it to Rogermaxfield wrote:Probably a days work on a good day?
