Thread: Yallr payin HOW much?

I took my Ford to get a job done at a garage I have been to a couple of times anyhow replace two solenoids on the LPG system they quoted $400 inc parts and labour.

Just to check the price I took it to a Ford dealer they quoted a maximum of $250 and prob. less if they could manage it in half an hour.

I asked about the parts only incase I wanted to change them, (which I don't) retail $110 for the two. So the local garage wanted $290 for a one hour job.

yep those are the ones, is it any easy DIY job?
I was reluctant because it's part of the LPG system.
Does it need and LPG pipes disconnected?

Same here.

I don't know prices but I do know that to have the injector harness replace in Canberra works out at $440. I removed mine on Saturday night cleaned it and put it back in an hour! If it was a strait change over I would think 30 mins tops.
