I can only concur with the booting of small dogs as put forward by the author. Dogs? Vermin with names.

Sorry to raise this thread up from the dead but I’ve just been and collected the Discovery after having the clutch replaced. I dropped it off last week and asked for the oil and filter to be done while it was there also.

 

Anyway – picked it up last Friday and the damage was £620.00. Does this sound about right to you? The thing that left a sour taste in my mouth (apart from the £620) was the fact that the mechanic broke the centre console near the handbrake while doing the job (he didn’t admit to doing it, left it to me to discover it – which I did as soon as I sat in the thing)

 

I’ve broken the odd flower-pot on domestic jobs – but never hidden the bits and tried to get away with it!

Does sound a bit high John, was it main dealer, local specialist, or a general garage?

It was at the village garage – we lived there and ran the garage since ’76 (Dad sold it years ago when he had the first of his heart-attacks). I believe in supporting the local economy, hence going there….

Only reason i ask was, sometimes a general garage can be great at general cars, they can obviously do work on land rovers, but what i have found is the guys who specialise in land rovers know their way around them a little better, therefore might not need to put in the labour time doing such as clutch jobs.

 

Hope that makes sense!

Oh, and as for the tunnel damage John, it can happen as i think its a common thing to remove it for a gear box out, but as for not admitting to it, very naughty!

wasn't that the garage that got someone else to do their tree ???
