?200 is NOT 4 hours work..
your ripping people off/getting ripped of if you pay ?50 an hour ! LMAO!
the usual rate is roughly around ?20, if you pay more than that find a better garage
main dealer rates are between ?50-?60 at citroen where i work they charge ?55 an hour so there :P

You just get plain screwed by everyone charging horuly rates LMFAO
grr fcuking VX and their mind changing with torx and regular bolts!!!!!!!!!!
id have had it done ages ago if i was at home with my tools lol
right after fcuking about getting the appropriate tools etc
its taken about 2.5 hours (and i didnt know what i was doing , as such)
so 205/2.5 = ?82 per hour!!!!!!!! lol
i wish i got paid ?82 an hour.
mind you i did get paid to do it ;)
the old pump was mega fooked! it had latteral and radial movement in it and the fins has all sheared off the pump + the bearings collapsed on the outside. tasty. it shall go on my windowsil of damed vahicle parts, to join my dead K-series piston, "lucky" valves from said K series, CP's baulk ring from his gearbox and a dead XKR handbrake lever
