Cheap mid exhaust fitting advise

Looking for some advise on what you would consider an acceptable quote for fitting a mid exhaust on Rover 25.

I can get the part down the road no problem but its fitting it that the issue. Didnt mind doing the back box last year but really want a garage to do this one.

So before i pop (or blow :eek:

) down to the local garages, Kwitfit, Halfords etc i wanted to get an idea how it could/should cost. Of course if anyone knows of a good/trustworthy garage in Nottingham then please speak.

Half an hours worth of labour?

Shouldn't cost much. Removal, new middle box, fitting and disposal on the Polo was £47 all in last time I had one done. Rear box was the same price this week.

Local garage offered £50 to fit the part mid+back exhaust (grrr) but they gotta make a living right?

My next issue is the leaking window cleaners/sprinklers. Filled up the reservoir, pressed the button, nothing comes out of back or front but you can clearly see a load of water coming from the back left wheel arch.

After alittle investigation i can see water tube running into the wheel arch but i cant get it because its behind the body work. I presume this is a MOT failure? If not il leave it. (had my gaffa tape ready as well

)

The front windscreen washers need to work for an MOT.

Probably need to take a wheel off and then remove the plastic inner arch liner thingybob to gain access.

In that case il try to isolate the pip leading off to the back, should restore pressure so the front one's work.
