This was a prick of a job. I was quoted around $1,000 for the cordia - I decided to pull the dash out myself and re-assemble it myself and the cost of the reconditioned core was $300.

SOme things its just not worth a workshop doing it as its a labour iintencive job as its not mechanical its best to DIY

Here here. The less you need to pay a workshop to do the better IMO. Do as much prep work as possible so they have less to charge you for!

$1000!! WTF!
Thanks boys, im confident if i encounter any dramas I can rely on you to help me out, but sounds like its pretty straight forward.

Nope. Epic case of CBF.
Just been driving around without heater etc. However, going to get done in around a months time.

Edit: Thread also worth looking at if you want to give it a crack.
