An hour - if only!!! ::)

I'd say about 5 1/2 hours and lots of swearing  ;)
Mark reckons about 3 hours but then he is an Omega genious..... :y

Make sure you use the layered gasket!

If your mechanic says an hour then get a fixed price off him and let him do it ;)

You'll need the multi layer manifold gasket from Vauxhall, manifold to down pipe gasket, 4 dowty washers for the coolant bridge, an O ring for the coolant transfer pipe oh and it might be worth getting a few manifold studs and nuts just incase ;)

If I can do one in 3 hours in the middle of a field then a 'professional' mechanic should have no issues!
