Its quite easy to do, the worst part is getting the oil out of the cooling system.

Whereabouts are you? Maybe there's a forum member nearby who'll give you a hand and/or do it for a better price than most garages :)

Have a read of this and if you don`t feel confident post up a plea for assistance http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1221081908

yeah as mentioned post up your location, there are few members who can easily do this for you at a very reasonable rate. They also know what they are doing unlike most garages!
