If your alright with a set of spanners give it a go yourself.....or if there is someone on here who lives local, see if they could give you a hand

£250 isn't bad, assuming it's not looking too bad for the next MOT etc, I'd go for it.

Thats not a bad price really mate. As fossie says if your good with your hands its easy enough to do yourself, most important part is to use a torque wrench to make sure you tighten the headbolts to the right tightness.
