Thanks Joe. I'm gonna take that on board and take it to the place I get it MOTd from. Cheers.............dennis

Could be taking it to this place http://www.enginuity.co.uk/ Although pricey they have a good reputation for restoring classic cars and they are quite near.

TBH I'm a little worried at what the state of the vehicle is in and I hope they give me an honest opinion. I love the car but beginning to wish I never clapped eyes on it. I'm hoping it all ends well. We'll see

I'm gonna let the people doing the job decide if the vehicle should be waxoyled. my guess is the garage could of been exaggerating a little.

Thanks Nodge68 but the way the mechanic was talking the car is ready to be scraped. I'll pay and let someone else get messy. ta BTW skinny Mike I don't have a credit card so it will have to be a debit card :(

I thought most people pay by debit card ?

This has been covered numerous times. I had some work done on the car and the mechanic mentioned there was a lot of rust underneath. I contacted these people but my question is has anyone had any work done by them ? http://www.waxoyltreatment.co.uk/land-rover-waxoyl/ This is what they claim to...

I paid loads of money for my 06 sport with 45000 miles last June. I'm scared to look underneath :(

Brilliant Lowbank. Tell me how old is that Freelander?

Update:- I forgot I had a fuel filter fitted last July and the same garage charged me an hours labour. Had I remembered I would of mentioned it to the mechanic quoting me 4 hours on the phone when it took him 1 hour to get to the same place. Anyway I rang them this morning and mentioned this and...

Wish I knew how to but things would go from bad to worse.

I've been quoted 4hrs labour fitting the pump. Is that a bit OTT ? BTW JGS got back to me. All seems well but mentioned it's an hours work

message sent. Cheers again pardec

Think that £152 pump is genuine LR so that looks favourite.

Thanks Pardec. That second one with the filter has a different part number. It is the same pump isn't it?

Can anyone tell me if this is a reliable pump http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Land-Rover-Freelander-Td4-2-0-Diesel-Low-Pressure-Fuel-Pump-/121397609600?hash=item1c43dc8480 as I am thinking of buying it and getting my local garage to fit it. I think they will source one which could be a lot...

If you know what you're doing in which case I dont :(

Those service costs are scaring me. Mine is due a service in a couple of months and hopefully solve an engine light coming on as well. I Better get saving. Nice thread BTW PaulN

I done nothing apart from taking it to the workshop to have the wheels powder coated.

Not coming across as rude but from the point of me knowing jack 5hite about engines someone suggested I buy one of those i930s for a problem I had last week when the amber light come up. All I would do is tell the mechanic what it displayed and he would probably do the same test anyway so...
