Does anyone know how much a garage would charge to replace a exhaust manifold gasket and skim the manifold?

Depends if you remove it for them or will they have to do that too - e.g. how many bolts snap...like egr connector, exhaust downpipe, turbo shield etc & have to be drilled/tapped etc

I did one for a customer last week, they had one stud missing and one EGR bolt snapped, took me 3 hours. Have had them a lot worse, and also a lot easier. It just depends how long it takes

Do you know how much the bill was for that?

I think it was £125 for a skimmed and dewebbed manifold, £45 stud kit and 3 hours at £65, all plus VAT.

Give studs a soaking with plusgas etc when cold repeat a few times, my manifold cam off surprisingly easy afyer everything i had heard, was the same with turbo to down pipe. I guess i was lucky they can be a PIA sometimes.
However i was confident if one snapped i had the tools and the experience and do not use the truck as daily driver, so was happy to take my time with it.
Very reasonable prices quoted by @tom1979 hope it goes well!
