When mine needed doing the garage quoted 3 hours labour (small independent not Fords). In the end I did it myself and it took about 4 hours start to finish.

I did mine on my 95 16v 2.0L in about 1 1/2 hours, and that included removing the roll bar. Sounds a bit high for a garage that would have the tools, lift and expertice!

The last one I did took about 2 hours from start to finish, If you access to a ramp then I STN tells it right about one hour! Oh for a ramp again!

Yes you have to charge the guy for the 'tidying up' before you can start! So in most cases about 3 hours ..............if the garage is tidy 8 if if its NOT
