do it yourself pal, me and my Dad changed the long cable from the handle to the rear passenger wheel in around 1 hour and for about £10 - £15 IIRC!

That sounds alot, cables are probably about £30, probably about £20 labour then plus VAT, so i'd say roughly should have been around £60ish

If its both pieces its around £30 for the two, £12 and £15 iirc and a couple of quid for a new adjuster nut if the old one is seized on.
