roco - Looking at your post again 13k miles is not uncommon for new brake pads

LR parts and labour ain't cheap, especially in london ( i presume, I have no labour prices to go buy)

I just paid best part of £350 just for new brake pads all round on my FL2 whlist it was in for its 2yr/30k service

A main dealer typically charges £120+ PH - not sure of the cost of parts probably £100. Total = £340+VAT at £50. so yes possibly £110 too much as long as the recommended job time is only 2 hours. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

From memory my FL2 was £75 front £60 Rear for pads plus Labour

Bit strange though the service board says the FL2 2nd year service is more than a RRS or D3 servive

My first set on the last RRS were about £350 ooop here - parts around £110 from memory £350 ish total so £150 more for some reason - London £'s ??

....and thinking on - what did you get for your £500 - did that get you discs as well ?? whast did you have done??

Rocco,

I'm sorry that you feel that our service department has let you down. Unfortunately I have not had an opportunity to look at the forum this afternoon so have just seen your post.

I am sure that there is a decent explanation as we very rarely have complaints of overcharging. Could you PM me your name, registration number and contact number and I will ensure that it is looked into appropriately.

Many thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Find a good indy to do the brake job instead of getting raped for £500. Been quoted £250 all in from a local garage that specialize in Landrover's.

Would only use a main dealer for warranty work........£120 per hour......to change brakes is taking the ing p*ss!

Next job PR department at 10 eh James?

Depends what you call aggressive! 5mph up in the northern wastelands could be considered aggressive.  2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

All,

We have identified the forum member and our Serivce Manager is dealing with the complaint. It's not totally straight forward but I understand that it will be resolved by Monday.

not that kind of aggressive, I could only do drive by shootings in Europe as I'm left handed making it difficult to hold a gun and steer at the same time, in Europe.....no problem!

3 sides to every story

I guess it pays to get a quote BEFORE letting any garage, however good they are, start work!

Hope it get's sorted amicably but the post does demonstrate the power of a public forum
