problem with wiper motor, freelander 2.
My wipers stopped working on my freelander 2, 10 days after my 3 years warranty was up. i took it to a landrover garage and looked at it there and then.
1st they thought it was a relay, they swapped that over, didnt fix the problem, then they put it through the computer, and said it was an earth problem.
they looked for 4 hours then changed there mind, said it was the control panel (cost £500 + vat,+ lab),
they phoned main office,they said try the windscreen wiper motor again, turns out it was the motor after all.
my problem is that the dealer took five hours to find this problem which i think is excessive.
they said they would charge me 2 1/2 hours lab (£120.00 per hour) instead of 5 hours and would charge me £50 + vat + labour for the motor.
i'm looking at a bill of around £500. instead of under £200.
Is there anything i can do about this, or is this a good deal as they let me off half the labour cost?
any help would be nice
