Nice one!
It couldnt be more than 2 hours work, so I hope you didn't pay more than that!
I did the passenger side of an SG foz in 10 minutes, but the drivers side would be quite a bit harder due to piping and guards in the way, even more than a Lib.

Had taken the car to a stealership and they had NO idea what it was. Had it for 1 week or so and couldnt find ANYTHING wrong at all with the car other then the symptoms. They hit the client with a current bill of $1500 for diagnostic labour with another $8000 invoice to remove and replace engine etc etc as they just simply had no idea what was wrong.
Went to my mechanic. He chucked the laptop on it. One bank +52 degrees timing the other zero.
Pulled both solenoids out and removed the buckets and cleaned them, put them back in, removed CEL and drove the car away in perfect functioning order . The customer was obviously rather pleased with my mechanic and promptly rang the stealership and ripped them a new ass hole.
The stealership actually rang the mechanic and was dumb founded that it was fixed so fast that they were silent on the phone and even agreed that maybe they should have noticed the timing was +52 vs 0.

Hopefully the $1500 bill was atleast partially refunded!
