Default v50 reverse light switch

My 2008 v50 has both reverse lights out. My local garage (who I trust and have used for years and they charge for jobs fairly) have diagnosed it yesterday as the reverse light switch but needed to order the part for next week.

Just wondering how much I should be expecting to pay for this? I've seen the part online for about 15 quid so I guess it's labour cost that could make it add up. Is it a simple quick job like a bulb for a mechanic? Or will it take them hours to strip stuff down to get to the switch an replace it?

Thanks

Changed mine myself on a 2.0D. Switch was on top of gearbox and if I remember I had to take the air filter housing off and was easy to get to as you can see it. Didn't take long at all.
Ordered switch from frf Swansea, wasn't a lot.

Hi all,
Old thread but I am having the same problem with, I think, the reverse light switch. While reversing I can hear the relay making noise, and through side view mirror I can see at the back the lights on and off. V50 1.6d has the same location of it as the V50 2.0? Removing the air filter housing would do the job? I have a visual view of it?
Thank you.
