So it needs a new diaphragm?

I've decided to change the diaphragm on my LS80T after reading articles on here. I have ordered the part but could someone please tell me if it is a complicated job? I've had a plumber quote me £120 for changing it. He said it should normally be £180. Is this something I could do myself?

Many thanks.

It is a case of removing the screws on the diaphram housing and replacing the new one in the same order

Diaphragm Kit to fit specific Giannoni diverter valves
To fit, simply undo the 4 screws on the valve and replace with the new diaphragm and spindle.

Do turn off the mains water supply first.
Also place a bowl beneath to catch the water that comes out. Switch off electric supply to boiler.
Ive replaced mine different make but simple enough --hope this helps --just take your time.
