That's a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question.  If you're talking about the one which runs under the sump I would say around 30 minutes plus filling and bleeding on top... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Ah, thats the cooler pipe. I reckon about an hour or so to change it if you've never done one before. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

All done the power steering pipe was easy to change the radiator tho was a pain in the ass as some idiot cut the bottom radiator pipe by the window wash bottel and put a bit of Metal pipe in with 2 doubly clips . |

Nice one.  Why would anyone cut the bottom rad hose and rejoin it? Unless it sprang a pin hole leak?  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

£22 sounds about right, the last time I bought one was over 4 years ago but they're not expensive. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
