Manifold Price?

Hi, does anyone know roughly how much a new manifold would be from a dealer? (for a 200)
My mechanic said he got a quote of £600 for the part and £1000 for the part and fitting at the dealers. Is this taking the piss?

By the time I got out of work today my local Renault dealer had closed so couldn't check it myself.

I only need a flexi welded on, but as it's my daily I don't want it off the road long. The plan was to put on a new complete manifold and fix up mine as a spare or sell it.

Not sure what to do now......

I had a new flexi welded on by an arnold clark for about £250 ish, they got the manifold off and took it to a local exhaust place. the same place wanted to charge in the region of £600 as they had no idea how long it would take to get the manifold off.

Surely it's only going to take an extra hour or so to replace the flexis on your manifold? if it's say 6 hours to remove and refit then it's going to be CIRCA 7 hours to remove, repair and refit. Or am I missing something?
 
people -the ones I've been in touch with anyway- seem to charge 2 hours to weld new flexi's, it's a bit of a work if you want to get it right the first time, you gotta cut & weld at exact same lengths etc...
 
Thanks for the advice guys!
Think I'm just gonna get my exhaust manifold repaired rather than get a new one.
I'll get an exhaust specialist to do the whole job so if it doesn't line up when they re-fit it then it's their problem and not mine.
 
I am getting a new flexi welded on today. Ill let you know how it goes, was going to use tony banks in leeds but they will not remove manifold and refit so it is easier for me to use someone who could do both welding and fitment (work reasons)
