Whats the biggest repair bill you have had?

[Orchard]

Just been reading some bits of the Land Rover appreciation thread, I am sharing the pain after I have just had to shell out 3k plus for a new gearbox, clutch, flywheel and other bits and bobs on my ranger!! She gets a hard life pulling trailers and carting chip about here and there. Never mind I feel slightly better to hear I am not alone on excessively high vehicle repair costs. What's the biggest bill your truck has had??

Seems a lot. It only cost 2k for a recon engine and new clutch in my land rover.

Can't remember the exact bill pound for pound but it was 300 quid more to have a new box from ford/Mazda rather than a recon from Ivor searle. So that made it slightly more than it needed to be.

2.5k for new gear box and transfer box, then 3 years later the same......good ol Land Rovers!!

Bet you were sick to be doing it twice!! They get well used though!!

Gladwins spent £7k in parts and labour, and off the road for 7 weeks, after the front of my transit tipper was ripped off last year after a 40 ton beet lorry decided to try and kill me.

£2.5k for new injectors seals etc etc from having petrol diesel mix through my diesel ranger. Worst thing was, i was putting it through volutarily trying to get rid of loads of petrol diesel mix i had. Did not think it would do any harm putting it in at less than 5% at a time. Very wrong.

Two clutches at about a k both within a little over a month of each. Not as bad as a clutch and duel mass fly in my wife's hyundie at 1500 because it was miss fitted before we got it!

She does get some stick mate, nothing else will do he job the Landy does. Towing capacity and size and manoverability.

Yer your right they are hard to beat! Unfortunately the cost of buying one is too!!!
