I was grievously misled by several people's 'knowledge'. The local dealer (who
quoted it as a four-hour job) has now admitted that he's never done an MB.
It's a great deal easier on a WR because of the greater clearance at the front
of the engine.
David at BR Motorsport called me on Thursday to say they had a cancellation and
could have fitted me in yesterday. Too late - I'd made the alternative
investment in tools. Martin apparently quotes 5 hours "if he meets no
problems" - I'm very happy to get within 2x of Martin's time at a first attempt.
