Depends wether they like you or not. They can pretty much charge whatever they want. You can probably buy a welder and do it yourself for less than some garages will charge.

bought outriggers from brookwells for my 87lr90 and they were 30summin each.
I did buy a welder and try to patch them myself, but FAILED! as you need a garage to mig weld.
Soon gave up trying to weld them myself and got my mate to do it.
to weld x2 bulkhead outriggers, rear crossmember and a patch where my tubular gearbox crossmember sits, cost me 200 notes.
I did do some of the work myself.
Out riggers are cheap, welding costs.

thanks for the replies. i've got it booked in to a Landy specialist called Keith Gott in hampshire to do, I've been there a few times for work in the past few years. I asked was it worth just patching it, but their mechanic said no way it needs replacing.
They said £225 in total to weld the brand new outrigger in, which I didn't think was too bad at all. I do highly recommend Keith Gott, they have been around for about 35 years and really do know what they are talking about - they won't rip you off, they are honest and if they say something needs doing you can believe it does.

£225 is not too bad..... its about £70 pounds for the outriggers in VAT....If I had paid VAT for the fitting it would have been about the same as your price. At least you know its a propper job. I had mine done a few months back.. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/my-mot-fail-pics-welding-advice-please-97854.html

225 quid. So about the same price as buying the outrigger and buying a mig welder to glue it on with then.
