There are different levels of wiretucks, but I wouldn't ever considering paying someone to do it :?

It's a long drawn out process if you do the job properly and at £50 an hour and easily in excess of a solid weeks worth of 8 hour days you'd be looking at £2000 ;-)

As said, if you've got the time, patience and a reasonable amount of know-how do it yourself! :) ... I am :D

you can get quite a bit of stuff out the way within the first hour to be honest. I did a bit of a hack and came up with a much tidier bay.

I didnt mess about with much stuff over to the right hand side though. All those big plastic ribbed trunks and that.

I did get rich to check it all over though. just to make sure i didnt end up on the side of the road with a flaming car :o
