I am going to Southampton to possibly swap an EPS motor, plus 2x airbag module fit and codes.
To do a pump change will make a very full day, but if you had the car up on ramps with the undertray removed when I got there it would be a possibility.
I'm going on Wednesday 24th April.

Ah that’s very kind of you to try and fit me in …. Although that’s the week the cars getting a front end respray

What should I expect to pay for a water pump / stat replace ( not inc the parts obviously)

Thanks

The car I did had no undertray fitted, which made it a tiny bit quicker. I'd never done one before.
Though I should add I spent 23 years fixing Tornados so had a bit of hands-on practice.
Changing the parts took me 45 minutes.
Somehow it got a big airlock though and I ran the bleed process several times before it was sorted.
I'm pretty sure a garage should cope with the whole job in two hours.
