does anyone have any idea how long it would take a garage to replace a thermostat on a ML270?

ideally i would give it a go myself but not something i would think is feasible to tackle at the side of the road so i want to get an idea of what a garage will charge if i source the parts.

As always, thanks in advance
 
It really is an easy job. As mentioned in your other thread if you take off the oil filter it's really easy!
It is do able with the filter in situ but very fiddly

i probably will do it myself and change the filter while i`m at it - from what i`ve seen you drain the coolant from the bottom of the rad first?
 
You can do via the bottom hose yes.
When I done my stat tho I just took it off without draining any fluid doh lol
