I did mine myself a couple of yeard ago, it took one weekend - easy.

I recall the going rate was around £500 to supply (£130ish) and fit.

It does involve pulling the rear loom back through the chassis clear of angle grinders,

then running a small chain through the new x member into the remaining chassis.

You attach the chain to the loom, then weld on the new X member then pull the chain and hey presto the loom is back in place.

Oh - and you also have to remove/raise the rear tub to gaet a good weld all round.

 

I would guess the £1500 was based on fear of all the above rather than experience and sound knowledge.

 

I'd guess weve all heard of massive tree quotes by someone who was out of their depth
