Steering Column Fitting - How long/much?

[Rudders16v]

I've just got hold of a second-hand column for my Williams

How much should I be expecting to pay roughly for fitting? Not sure how much my garage charges per hour, so a time of job might be a more useful answer

Shouldn't take any longer than 2 hours.

For an experienced mechanic Id say they could do it in an hour, only took me hour n a half cause i put it back together but forgot to plug the speedo in! But any longer than 2 hours is taking the piss defo...

Have u checked the column you got hasn't got any play in it?

That doesn't sound to bad then.... i bought the column of Mat above, he assures me its good so i've no reason to doubt him.... i wouldn't have a clue what to look for myself

Now you mention it im not entirely sure, think I was changing the bulbs in the dash or something... Doesn't take long anyway!

I just had this done on mine, I paid a renault mechanic to do it on his evening as I am lazy. It took him 2 hours, but it was dark and he was doing with the light off his mobile phone!! LOL

Thanks for all the replies, its going in tomorrow to be done, so hopefully they'll get it done in 2 hours and it'll all be sorted :D
