I would guess a couple of hours .

Give them a ring on Tuesday - they should be able to tell you straight away on the phone, as all Peugeot jobs have pre-defined times in the computer

Someone with higher access to servicebox than I have got may be able to tell you sooner.

i remember seeing a book with time "points", and if i recall correctly, it was 3h.

Thanks guys it seems straight forward enough to remove except for the clips under the headlight as they are suppose to be a pain to get to

[battlestar]

to get to them, you have to remove the mudguards, and get this special tool that looks like a small hook on a long rod, hook it up and pull while turning. its a bitch to do.

Will try reach them myself but i have checked service box and it has a time frame of 2 and a half hourse to take it off and replace

So 2.5hrs to Peugeot would be anything between £150 and £200.
If it doesn't sound too bad a DIY job, for that money it would be worth a go

I will ask my local dealers when they open this week for a price and i am off thursday and will try see if i can reach those clips.This is the tool i need wonder if i could fashion one?

I saw my mechanic make one out of old droplink by welding a hook onto one end of it. As for DIY job, yeah its doable, i had mine taken off myself and put it back on with help from mechanic
