A local Bmw specialist has quoted me £260 to fit my oil filter housing & cooler gaskets with me supplying the cooler gasket (purchased from Bmw as was gonna attempt myself) and them supplying the filter housing gasket. Would this be about the going rate?

Thought about doing and had a quick go but almost straight away had a problem getting on the bottom nut of the cooler as its so tight for space.
Might give it another go....looks like only the cooler gasket is actually leaking.

Yea that bottom one is a sod, need to get the radiator fan and housing out the way and use a rachet torx spanner as there isn't the room to get may turns with a non-rachet.

That aside yea that's a good price.

Decent enough price.

That'll be plus vat though?
