Right so i've just been quoted £60 for a diverter valve change? Is this normal as it seems like a straight forward job  :confused:

I didn't take the wheel off to do mine, and only took 30 mins to do.

The advice above is on the money - the job is simple but remember one bolt is difficult to reach and requires certain tools so be warned!
This is the tool I found made the job easy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Laser-3981-Ratchet-Swivel-Head-1-4-Drive-/360643747143?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item53f80add47
