what's a reasonable price for work?

Post by annie »

i need the rear engine mount changing on my 2.0 hdi 90 1999. ive got the part but my confidence to do the job is wavering so what do you think would be a reasonable laour rate down here in the south to replace it for me

i know some have done it without removing the driveshaft etc but i must include the full job in the labour rate...
thanks annie

My preferred Citroen Peugeot specialist charges about £40 per hour + vat,
compare that to the Peugeot Dealer in Portsmouth @ £108 per hour + vat.....

What area in the South are you?
My other Peugeot was a D4B

Hi Annie, Buzz Arnold, is near to Portsmouth.
Probably he's a bit far from Littlehampton, but might be worth giving him a call.....
No website for him but I found this for you:
