Did the recon myself for the grand total of £25, with bits from Titan. As Nizzy says, it's not that difficult, but you'll need a couple of tools to set the loads correctly. Obviously, if you're not mechanically minded, get a garage to take it out (use a decent one though) and send it off to Titan.

i have a spare S1 rack that people can borrow, if it helps. Its gubbed, but you could send it away for refurb, then just swap it for yours when you get it back. If it helps you, just shout.
