The guy quoted me £300 plus VAT!
Also found a guy on American eBay who'll rebuild for more than half that - His username is Fueldistributors
Rebuild kit though - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220338298206?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I have split one in the past and it was an absolute b1tch to get back together, and even when I did it seeped fuel :-(
Apparently there is a proper assembly sealant that you need.
Once apart you will see that it is actually very simple, just four pressure restrictors with slits for fuel to flow through, the lower the metering plunger drops the more of the slit open to each injector line and the more fuel that will flow. There is a pressure regulator that can be shimmed to alter the system pressures this can have new seals without splitting.
