very hard one to quote, as loads can go wrong so most will factor that in! things like unable to undo the pipes connecting to um, bleed nipples snapping off etc etc !

Worst case is 2 new calipers, cylinders and renew all pipes on the van + labour ... £400 ?

If all the unions and bleed nipples come undone..then about two and a half ours tops including a full bleed through.
If unions are seized then you are into new pipes, if nipples are seized you could be talking new calipers and or wheel cylinders.....chances are..fingers crossed, in most cases you can replace the flexi's without any further parts needed.
