When I did mine the prices is got were the following. Loads available

90 quid to recon both yours, 100 each for a recon exchange and 150 ish each I think for a recon non exchange

[mrzigazaga]

Wards engineering have them on an exchange basis as long as they are in a serviceable condition....

They are really not too hard to change.

Jack/ramp up the rear and get under on a creeper, far enough forward so your shoulders are in front of the rear suspension/running gear.

Have a good magnetic light or two and a mirror on a stick. And safety glasses as grit will be falling in your eyes.

The only problem I had was the copper cross-over line that goes from one caliper to the other had semi-rounded nuts so I would up cutting it and replacing. It was a relatively inexpensive part.

There have been comments about bleeding issues with the car ramped up but I didn't have any issues. Grady

I've struggled changing mine; I have the 'A-frame' rear suspension - the chassis and diff cradle tubes get in the way... although I did manage it after taking the brake discs off as well. Maybe it's easier on the trailing arm suspension cars?
