How much for a new thermostat on e46 330?

[taylor86]

I have been quoted by a local indie £95.00 plus VAT for a replacement thermostat on my e46 330, does this sound about right or has anyone had it done cheaper?

I am in the surrey/berkshire area if anyone can recommend where to get it done.

Many thanks!

the part is approx £45 from gsf, and it takes about an hour to fit, so i guess 95 quid supplied and fitted sounds about right.

I just replaced mine last weekend. The thermostat was £45 from ebay & it's quite an easy DIY, took about an hour 1/2 as it was pissing down with rain! So that price sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Also replaced one myself a while ago now. Not too difficult a job with the right tools. Just a bit fiddly.
