Just had front diff done on 2.5 dse. I supplied the diff and they want 206.00 for fitting it. Is that about right? Seems a bit steep to me. :

At a usual garage rate of around £60 p/h thats 3 hours work...not too bad...

At LR that would be about an hour and a half...

Take it you have never done one yourself, on your back, on your drive. If you had you'd be snapping his hand off.

With the cost of filling one of these (Petrol or Diesel) now well over £100, I always consider any repair under £500 good value!!
