When you consider that labour charges are £60-£80 an hour, that's ok.

Around £25-£30, plus £7 per sensor, for genuine parts on Tradeclub, and about 1hrs labour to do it properly.

Most backstreet garages are around £50 per hour, Delears around £90

They are under £15 and take about 1/2 hour to do - most time taking off & replacing wheels and jacking up
