No idea, it depends how easily things come undone.

What makes you think it needs changing?

A recon box will be around the 150-180 quid mark

The hardest part about the swap is getting the drop arm off, this can be a real PITA.

A couple of hours end-to-end is usual, but they can turn into a nightmare due to the prepensity of drop arms and ball joints to stick.

Up to you, as it's your money.

I've had drop arms come straight off, and I've spent a couple of hours with a puller / hammer trying to get the arm off.

You can never tell :-)

Do it yourself. Equicar £100 for the box, £5 worth of power steering fluid. I'll even lend you my workshop manual after I've fiddled with the swivels on George (no I still havent done them :oops: ).
