Hello my name is Jimmy. New to this and have bought a p38 2000 2.5d. Had it 2 months and got brake fluid leaking out near rear driver side wheel ( gushed out all over driveway, not driveable). Local garage say I have to take it to a Land Rover specialist. Spoke to them and they say the body has to come off the chassis to replace brake pipes - circa £800. Is this realistic? Thanks

you can fit new pipes without removing body ,with p38 i find it easier to make the pipe that travel across chassis to the other side in 2 pieces

Now you've introduced yourself, it's worth popping in to the Range Rover section and asking the question again.
For what its worth, I replaced the brake lines on my P38 myself last year. From memory, it cost under £30 for parts, took less than 4 hours (I could probably do it in 2 now I know what I'm doing), and certainly didn't involve taking the body off the chassis.
