I had this advisory on my MOT 11 months ago. I have noticed clunking / knocking noise when I turn left and right.

From my understanding the inner tie rods need replacing. Is this the required to remedy this defect?

Replace the rack, it's not that difficult.

How many hours labour would it take a mechanic. I have purchased an aftermarket part.
Trying to determine how much I should for the labour.

Take a look at charm.li as it has the labour hours for various swaps. Take a look at the procedure for replacement as you may decide to give it a go.
