Default Replacing heater core.

Does anyone know how much it costs to get a heater core replaced on a 1995 WRX. I'm pretty strapped for cash.

With a little patience and basic skills you could fit it yourself.

That doesn't sound too bad. What's the going rate per hour these days 30 quid?

So 120 quid plus part price at a garage.

Depends where you take it, but, some places are a LOT more than £30/ph.

As above, it's something you can do yourself if your good with tools.
