Thank you I’ve been to few  mechanics and been quoted 600+ as all say that engine needs to come out plus remove gearbox and will take 8 hours not sure what to do

Watch the video, assess if it's something you'd be capable of doing (consider space and tools, not just skills and time). Get quotes from other places to compare with. Shouldn't be a huge job.

Thank you for reply yes will do i don’t think I’d be comfortable trying to change it myself but might show a mechanic a video see if they could do it

It's not something I would be interested in doing but you shouldn't have too much trouble.

Why not get another couple of estimates.

I only paid about £30 for the water pump, so you won't have to sell a kidney for one.
