Hydro unit (B34.51.6.797.896) = £30.47
Replace DSC hydro unit = £187
Total plus Vat = £255.53

So, after the horror stories at the start of this thread and in other forums I'm actually quite happy with this since I didn't buy the car from a bmw dealer and it's well out of warranty.
My diagnosis: £33.33 inc VAT

Hydro Unit (B34.51.6.797.896) inc 80% BMW parts discount = £27.42
Replace DSC Hydro unit inc 10% 4years+ discount = £181.13
Total fitting inc VAT = £250.26

Thank you Allan Jones of Elms BMW Bedford, good job in 2hrs whilst I waited (inc free paper, proper coffee and Danish pastries. Love the extra 10% discount on the 4+ scheme!
