2012 Range Rover Westminster TDV8 Orkney Grey

just looking at the pictures, with the front off, it seems that the front of the chassis legs are detachable, and therefore perhaps replaceable This seems a good logical step in body design, as it gives slow(er) frontal impact wrecks, a chance to be repaired, easier. -and being able unbolt the front slam panels too. Whereas, as in older generation cars, you always had that whole area 'in the way'.
looks a bit scary though! but with a digital camera and plenty of pics, and a laptop screen its like building a lego model!

Yes.

The engine also seems to be working much more smoothly.

As you wish...

Here goes the money breakdown

Lots and lots of parcels!!!

The car still took new pads, oil, lots of rings and sealants, new air-con charge amongst other things that took the bill way north.

But for me, the one that really hurts more than anything are the injector sealants (end of 1st page). Total of 640€ just for what is essentially 2 o rings for each cylinder

so, does that look like around 20hours labour, at around £840?
