Thanks for the responses.
I've really got no problem giving this kind of thing a go - although a hernia operation 6 months ago does mean that I cannot really lift anything heavy.
My fear is that I'd buy one and find that it isn't 5-10 or even 20-30 minutes to complete, but requires removing half of the fridge and then re-assembling!
If most of them are very straight forward then maybe I'll just take the plunge.
Am I right in thinking that if there is a water dispenser on the front the job can be a lot more difficult?
We went into Comet and that is where we were told £60. John Lewis wanted £50 which I still feel is quite a lot.
When I mentioned this I was told they are "special order". SO in other words someone at the main depot makes the change and ships it through as a right-hand opener and that guys is worth £60 for 5 minutes work
We did actually walk out of both establishments as they were adamant that prices for this were fixed and there was "nothing they could do" (and in this economic climate!).
