Mine is just being done at the moment, its a 300tdi 90, everyone I spoke to said it was a 40 hour job. so it then only depends on your garages labour rate.

Lifting the boy off you are still looking about 20 hours or so.

Remember you need new brake pipes + bleeding.
Usually the suspension is replaced to new bushes through out, A frame ball joint. some folks want a new clutch and rear seal done while engine box is out.

Most garages are about £45-£50 an hour so 20 hours is about 1k

Not easy to price, what all do you want done at the same time, no point in transfering old worn parts on to new chassis.
