Unless you are a DIY wizzard - I'd say £200 for all 8 spheres is a very good price.
As Jeremy writes you can buy brand new spheres and a good special purpose removal tool for a little less. But the hassle involved is definately not worth the 20-35 quid (at most) you save then.
Westroen has been around for decades and is known to do their job. Note however that they may have to down most of your old spheres - as they can NOT be regassed once they have been allowed to run fully flat. The company wont do it as they know you'll be back complaining !

I have dealt with Westroen and I found them to be helpful and they produce a good product. GSF are very cheap and excellent. Euro Parts are OK but I have had two failed spheres recently. What is important is to establish if you are buying a refurbished (nowt wrong with that if the job is done correctly) or a new sphere.
Cheers!

I had all 6 done on my previous Xantia 2.1TD by Westroen - 3 year guarantee, fitted quickly and with friendly, helpful Citroen friendly chat. Recommended. And what a difference driving home!
