Need to change the discs & pads all round on my Discovery 300tdi auto. Been quoted £100 for labour with me supplying parts. Can't do it myself for health reasons:rolleyes:

Reasonable or not?
 
Yeah that's pretty fair it's at least half an hour a corner so 2-3 hours work, £33 an hour is pretty cheap rates
 
Been using these guys for 25 years & the guy knows the 300 series well. Booked in for Tuesday. Asked about timing belt & quoted the same £100.

Is it a main stealer ? Or just a independent ?
 
my last car was a citroen c1 and i paid £120 for a service and that included changing brake discs and pads, parts included! was surprised at that one!

I went a local guy who does mechanics but fabricates stuff too, does all the farmers repairs in the area, that sort of chap, some top notch welders there and knowledgable guys, ive been quoted £160+vat for a full day of welding on my disco, which will fill all the holes in and the worst areas. made up with that!
