987.2 full front cooling pipe replacement?

[911hillclimber]

An evil job that I may just take on soon, but don't really fancy it.

The kit of pipes from Design911 is about £500, a front re-alignment could be £100 (?) fresh coolant about £50, my time is free.

Anyone had this job done very recently at a good Porsche independent and can give me an idea of cost?

I'm told some Porsche supplied parts are on back order...

£846 inc VAT through an excellent Indy albeit three years ago. Pipes £280, anti freeze £75 and 5 hours labour at £70 an hour (£350).

Thanks for the details Richard.
3 years ago two I know paid £1000 for the job, both on 997 911's.
I've asked my Indie for a quote....

OPC price 2k.... they did mine under extended warranty

Also - on good authority from a ex OPC gold tech - they never did the 4 wheel alignment in the OPC - the subframe has no adjustment - it locates back to the same place - you do have to wartch when you lower the frame that you don't let the rack slip - since that can lose the steering wheel "alignment"

yes - I have read the same about a alignment - but I am quoting someone who has done the job many times.
