You have to look at the bigger picture.
I bought a used one for about £45 a couple of years ago, you'll probably be looking at up to £60 now, or less if you're lucky.
But mechanics round my way now charge £55+ per hour, and they will charge you at least an hour to do it for you.
As i've already used it 3 times i'm effectively quids in, i've learned how to do it, and my bike runs sweet.
Plus i still have it at my disposal whenever i want. It's normally a job i'll do on a nice dry sunny day in summer when i've got a bit of time, and patience, to spare with no worries of rain, wind or cold to annoy me.
