K-rover, here in St. Louis, Mo area labor from LR dealer is $185 hr, MINI $165. Some of the best independents in Belleville, Il $160. Smaller shops with limited vehicle services $65-$100.
i Think you send in the invoice Land Rover sent owners for other repair. Has all the info on it you will need and copy of receipt. i am waiting until i redo suspension bushes and coolant hoses. so fa cannot find part available on internet.
My 96 D1 would have random times of hard starting. Was the fuel pump. Might borrow or get a new pressure gauge unless you get no squirt of fuel from the Schrader valve on fuel line.
I would check the taped connections and the burnt wire. See how far the wire has melted then replace. Then a fuel pressure test, check filter next to right rear frame and go from there.
Follow the breather hose that comes out of the rear end, usually near the middle on top. Follow up to a height of about 28-36" inches up. Usually a black plastic line with a 90-180 degree bend in the end.
I think you will find that if a vehicle is over or near the 10yr. mark, the dealer's don't like touching it. Like carbs, the young techs hardly know what they are.
Even though the lights seem OK, but starter only clicks does not mean the battery is good. It did set for a few days and the weather changing can affect it greatly, and how old is it?
Never, never brag about paying off a car while standing, sitting or being anywhere near it. That vehicle no matter what make will bite you. 52 yrs. experience in cars and I'm telling you they bite. Same with talking about trading or selling it.
