Default valve stem seals..how much?

As the title says really, I just want to know roughly how much it would cost to get these done? I wuld imagine its quite a big job.

Thanks

Parts are £20.
IIRC labour is about 6 hours to do the job.

So fitting would depend on whatever the garage charges labour. IE if they charge £40 per hour. 40 x 6 = 240.

So £20 parts and £240 labour.

I would expect somewhere between £200-£300
