Help! Rip off or fair price?

Hi,

Just had my 56" Freelander 1 Diesel serviced.

They have recommended two things for immediate action and want to charge the following. I'm no mechanic, so if anyone can tell me if this is fair price and essential that would be really helpful:

Main Shaft Mountings - Broken: £300
Off Side Front Droplink - Excessive Play - £40

Prices inc. VAT.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Drop links are an easy DIY job and you can buy for as little as a fiver but probably wont last that long

By main shaft bearings if they mean the prop bearings, bell quoted me £320 for vcu and bearings ,i can source good bearings local for £90 and £50-£60 for fitting .

There are no specifics, just comes under the "Engine, Transmission and Rear Axle" category and says Main Shaft Mounts Broken

Will be prop shaft mounts, depending on condition I imagine a bit steep on the quote.

my wife has just paid for a head gasket and a good job done only £350

Both jobs should take no more than 2.5 hours VCU mount bearings £60 for a good set drop links good ones about £20 labour £150 so maybe £100 to much, if you are handy with a spanner you could under take these jobs your self and maybe save your self £240 on their price
