So that's an average of say £125 (`$175) for parts.It's about 5 hours work for which I charge $60 an hour, bringing your total to $475 if I'd have done the job over here.These jobs are not that hard to do so if you think your getting ripped off all the time, buy some tools and a manual and try it yourself.I will make one point though. I fit very few starter motors these days most times all that's needed is to disconnect the connections, clean them all and after smearing on a little vaseline, re connecting them</blockquote>
