Who's fitted a power steering pump?

Dealers are quoting several hours and £100 or so - it looks like it should be easy though - one spyderchat guy reckoned on 30 minutes and easy.

Can anyone help please?

My local garage (none Toyota) did one for me a couple of years ago and only charged me £35 so it can't be a big job! Sounds like they're trying it on to me?

Thanks, Stu, all received.

The only section that refers to it says Bleed Power Steering System (SR3) - do you have this page by any chance?

That probably consists of £950 for the pump and £500+ for fitting - both absurd. There are various online breakers yards that'll charge between £150 - £300 for the pump, whilst fitting takes an hour and is a piece of p**s.. I bottled out, but my nearest garage did it for £50.
