Can any member from this way recommend a decent garage?

I need a new radiator fitted to the coupe! Big sigh.

Any recommendations would be fab!

Can I recommend that you attempt to do this yourself?

It really is one of the easier jobs to do, a couple of basic tools and an hour of your time.

It took me 2 hours to open the bonnet after the cable snapped! Lol...

One garage quoted me 4 hours labour - £200 sick

In that case don't use that garage!!!! 4 hours is robbery.

On a scale of 1 to 10 of difficulty, this would be a 2.

See the guide here >> Clicky

Don't be put off, it sounds far more difficult that it actually is.

IIRC - I didn't need to remove the undertray to change mine either.
