About £100 parts and labour seem fair?

Might just be the motor. The newer draytons have snap on actuators so you may get lucky and have a quick job!

New 22mm Drayton 3 port is about £80, plus £15 for inhibitor if you have to drain so prob more like £150.

Thats closer to what I'd charge, may have problems re-filling system etc.
