Hi all, I’ve just been quoted £200 for a pair of track rods for my Freelander Auto 2005. Doing a quick online search that seems way over the mark - am I right?
£200 track rods?

A FL1 doesn't have inner track rod ends. It has long track rods with bushes in keeping them located. They seldom fail, but I guess it's possible.
If the £200 is a fitted price for a pair of complete track rod assemblies, then it's acceptable. A complete track rod assembly is about £70 per side from my go to LR parts supplier.

Ok thanks - cost was 190 for parts only… Though am now confused about them talking about inner track rods. Think I’ll take it to a LR / 4x4 place (took it to local garage).A FL1 doesn't have inner track rod ends. It has long track rods with bushes in keeping them located. They seldom fail, but I guess it's possible.

they will corroded together never to come apart again.............i suppose the choice is 2 track rods + 2 trackrod ends + 1x labour vs 2 trackrod ends + 2x labour

Tie rods are the inner part, track rod ends are the outer part.
Don't forget the wheel alignment after you have done the work.
