 A means someone else doing it
I meant B

Wonder how option C would work??
Would I be taking the engine out at Beardys garage, surley it would take longer than being able to do it in one night, especialy if it was me being taught how to do it!

i cant see option c working very well in beardys favour. you have a legend of a mechanic that probably knows where each nut and bolt is without even seeing it there for advice but he isnt doing it? there will be a time when you strugle to get a bolt out or something then you will be asking him to have a look... then is that classed as option b or c?

which will save you some money aswell as learning how to do a few things.

I would do it myself because I can. But then if I had £3,500.00 to burn, i'd probably get the RS back on't road instead.
