Anyone had this done? I've just been quoted Pounds2129.53 Inc vat by Hatfield PO.
Seems a lot, but they are quoting 8 hours to fit.

No my figure of 1543.87 was with VAT.
As I say though I haven't actually got the bill yet so until I do this amount may undergo further arguing. Personally I don't see any angle they can argue if you present them with the labor times I indicated.

Like Alex says - use these figures to haggle. In my case (without Sports Chrono) the labour time is higher (4.4 hours) and labour costs at my OPC are Pounds105 per hour, so I will be paying more, plus the cost of the switch.
Nevertheless I will be paying about Pounds500 less than the original quote which incorporated 8 hours labour. This figure was right for the 996 fitting but not the 997!
It pays to show them that you know what you're talking about.
Thanks again Alex.![]()
