Did the garage supply the part?

What brand strut was fitted?

How much was the part? And the labour?

Labour wise, the saving grace is that if the garage have only recently replaced the strut, replacing it again shouldn't take more than half an hour as the fixtures will all be easily removed. Other than the lower bolts into the knuckle which are often seized, there's not much difficulty to the job and on a lift it's dead easy to do - remove top weight, one wiring connector, three nuts at the top, one airline connection, one nut on the ARB droplink, couple of clips to undo, and the two knuckle bolts.

Take it back to the garage that supplied and fitted it, its their problem to sort out after only 1000 miles.

I'm still confusd as to how why garage charged you £1700 if it was £695 + 1 hour labour?
The garage is liable to pay for a new strut and replace for free. They can claim back their costs from their supplier. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

£1700 is the price to fit from the new garage that diagnosed the problem. £1200 +VAT is the cost of the LR original strut from them.
