Couple of self tappers would do the job ;) Oh wait, you can't do that on anything after a Classic?

What prognosis would they give most of our Landies? Keep your chin up, do what makes you happy, see how things go mate.

Welcome! That's a step up if ever I saw one, L322s are beautiful cars, the Velar... less so :D

I can't imagine you'd get it done cheaper at a specialist with OEM parts. You could go the cheaper route, but I'm not sure it'd be better value for money personally. My two are only worked on by myself and the local specialist I trust.

Are they a Land Rover specialist and using LR / OEM parts? If yes to both, tbh I don't think it's unreasonably high. If they're a bog standard garage that's getting bits of Euro or similar, it's a bit steep...

IPads on dashes are horrific. Gear knob looks like a Poogeot, wtf? After the Classic, late model L322s are peak Rangie for me. The L405 is alright, better than the current one apparently, but just doesn't feel as special.

Were they feeling lucky?

Only just seen all this, very glad to hear you're home and hope you're on the mend!

I hope you've got a good sturdy length of metal bar / pole... Getting those wheel nuts off with just the tool LR provided is a nightmare ;)

Duck duck go let's you select the region you see results from, might be worth a try!

I left mine on the drive today, took the Porsche for a little drive to St Albans instead... I feel a little like I've cheated on her :D

It'll stop eventually ;) Although it might die shortly after if you don't start it leaking again!

Mine did the daily commute again today (the 1988, not the 82) and was rewarded with some shiny new nylock nuts for the exhaust clamp that keep coming a little loose.

I meant the Kia, I like a Fiat but I'd never swap either of mine for one! :eek:

Talk her into swapping it for a little Fiat, I think every one has an exhaust leak but they never do! Such a peppy, throaty little engine... still no substitute for a Rover though!

A few trips in a KIA and the work on the Rovers will seem worth doing ;)

I'd work on a L322 over a Poogeot any day of the week!

To be fair, the Sports I've been under at work, you wouldn't notice the sea damage - they're all crusty pieces of **** underneath!

Only if it's not been significantly modified, which...

Welcome, and sorry to hear about your woes. A talented welder / fabricator can probably salvage the area where the main chassis rails meet the rear cross, if that's the problem. A lot of places will just cut the rotten cross member out and weld a new cross member in, you need someone who's a...
