That's a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question. Yes

If you're talking about the one which runs under the sump I would say around 30 minutes plus filling and bleeding on top...

Ah, thats the cooler pipe. Yes

I reckon about an hour or so to change it if you've never done one before.

All done the power steering pipe was easy to change the radiator tho was a pain in the ass as some idiot cut the bottom radiator pipe by the window wash bottel and put a bit of Metal pipe in with 2 doubly clips .No

Nice one. Thumbs up

Why would anyone cut the bottom rad hose and rejoin it? Unless it sprang a pin hole leak? Dunno

The hose is cheap enough to replace from Peugeot, i think i paid about £22 for one last year.

£22 sounds about right, the last time I bought one was over 4 years ago but they're not expensive. Thumbs up
