Any ideas on price

So in 4 months I've now had 2 new tyres, 2 new discs, 4 sets of pad, a new battery and a drivers door locking mechanism. Now the front arm rear suspension bushes are knocking. Anyone got any idea on likely costs, its under warranty but assume that its due to wear so will not be cockered. Should I be scared when the garage call me up with the price? If it doesn't snow soon or the need arose to cross a muddy field I'll soon be thinking this has been a pointlessly expensive purchase Smile

LR dealer will probably want £400 a side to replace the front lower arm. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Will do cheers Smile Im a bit dubious about Kwik Fits general ability but I've been less than impressed by the actual main dealer as well to date. I told them the numerous electrical faults I was getting and the random nature of everything from filler cap not releasing, sat nav not working, suspension dropping and most worryingly the power stopping suddenly meaning I hurtled forward in a straight line until I managed to wrestle it to a stop. They said there was nothing wrong with it. I posted on here and pretty much first answer was battery is probably fooked so I took it to get checked and it came up as unserviceable. The fact they didn't even check it makes me worry about their ability.

Cheers for the recommendation, got a decent price from Kam for this but now the battery is fixed it seems the old one may have been masking the suspension fault light which is now permanently on. So its back to the main dealer to see if its a warranty issue then if not it will be back to thinking i'd have been better without this, they can't do anything for over a week so looks like I'm driving round for a bit in a wonky RRS, its so bad one of the security staff at work came over today and said is that car right mate looks a bit sloppy to me! In 4 months Ive shelled out for 1 new lock, 2 new tyres, and all round balancing/aligning, 2 brake discs, 4 new pads, a regassed aircon, new battery and its still lopsided and knocking. Crying or Very sad
