Cost of replacement handbrake cable?

Hey all

Anyone know the rough cost to get a handbrake cable replaced on a 51plate Punto?

Mine snapped today :( managed to get car to garage to leave it there overnight and they will fix it tomorrow. But I didn't ask how much it would be as I was so flummoxed at the time!

    £20-£30 for bits and no more than an hours labour.

    Depending on what the hourly rate is, around £60-80 (around by me this appears the cheap-ish!)
  • thanks both!

    I think their labour is £40/hr from memory

    No more than £60 I would have thought. I've had entire rare drums rebult for £150 inc parts and labour.
