Even at 2k i do not think you would get much profit in flipping it. by the time you have got it road worth mechanically and an mot on it you are still left with a farm pick up truck without a straight panels so will not be worth top dollar, and...
If it takes 3 hours id charge 3 hours, I ran a big garage 15 years ago & they were pushing for overcharging hours
pushing the lads to earn bonuses for extra sales when clearly not needed. :mad::mad: I left the job which I loved & was with
them...
yeah was going to say.. even with a lift and transmission jack.. i'd be quoting like 3 hours also.. i got the vibe from the guy that he didn't want to do it as a aftermarket part as he wont make money on it..
got another quote today for 3-4...
It took me longer than that to do mine although i've been repainting bits and renewing and futtering about ...
I also discovered that my flywheel had a 17thou channel in it which needed to be smoothed out.

How many hours would a “reputable landrover specialist” charge you?

Now JLR is facing $3B in court action...

I never took the pedal box out at all, 90 200tdi pedal box with 300tdi brake system
If it weeps out and then releases, we thinking maybe brake bias? weird how it's just on the 1 wheel?
Is there any guides on the pedal height?
parts used:
- Brake Master Cylinder - LR013018
- Servo - LR013488
- Brake Pressure Reducing Valve - NTC8836
what else could cause it to bind? CV or something?
so tldr
i rebuilt the whole brake system
added braided lines
i had the old servo and brake bias
i upgraded them and fitted them to the old pedal box (drilled the holes for the new servo)
The pin lined up perfectly.. I don't know.. really...
