How much if I take it to a independent shop or dealer? I'm Planning to DIY any small jobs. Thanks.   Curt Perlman (Cnote) Member Username: Cnote Post Number: 47 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - 12:33 am:    My dealer just charged me $1,200 for a '01!!! I think that is absurd.   Billy Deakins (Discodog) New Member Username: Discodog Post Number: 25 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - 01:21 am:    I heard they start around $900 at the dealers. It pays to know somebody though because I just had mine done by my brother-in-law who's a mechanic at LR South Bay for nada. I was quite thankful I didn't have to fork over $1000!   Andrew Lenz (Alenz) New Member Username: Alenz Post Number: 21 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - 01:23 am:    $1200 wow. what do they do for $1200. I just hit 61k.   Dave (Plain2000dii) Member Username: Plain2000dii Post Number: 83 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - 08:09 am:    most of it involves balancing the drive shaft with two hose clamps.......   Justin Kurosaki (Kurosaki) New Member Username: Kurosaki Post Number: 36 Registered: 02-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - 10:15 am:    $695 - Land Rover Greensboro -justin Yes dave, lots of hose clamps!   Christopher J.

I talked to my service guy about the 60k last week and the varying prices and he said that it had to be due to labor rates as every dealership "should" be doing the exact same services.

That would explain the $1200 price tag.   Christopher J. Sears (Sears) New Member Username: Sears Post Number: 4 Registered: 02-2004 Posted on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 - 04:49 pm:    Good lord that is expensive per hour. Are lawyers working on your car? That is out of control. I think ours in ATL is around 75-85.   Steve Turpin (Steveturpin) New Member Username: Steveturpin Post Number: 36 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 - 09:13 pm:    Mine was about $650...my dealer charges $109 per hour...   Curt Perlman (Cnote) Member Username: Cnote Post Number: 54 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 - 11:45 pm:    I am the one with a $1200 bill...Knauz in Lake Bluff, IL (near Chicago). I have to admit that they do a great job though. I love that if you request, they will always give your Rover to the same tech. Also, '04 Disco's as loaners...nice touch, but still too fucking expensive!   Don Leichtling (Scruffy) New Member Username: Scruffy Post Number: 12 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Friday, March 12, 2004 - 12:04 am:    Not there yet, but suggest that for that kind of money it would be wise to drive to the most "cost effictive" rover dealer in the US for the best 60K service...   John Gadd (Roverdude) New Member Username: Roverdude Post Number: 31 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 16, 2004 - 01:01 am:    Is that what you were quoted or charged? Sounds like they did more than a 60K. Maybe some brakes? Check your bill. BTW, LR Anaheim Hills in Orange County only charges $97.50/hr., 28% less than all other dealers in the area.   Paul D.

If I get sent to Edwards AFB next year, I'll look you up. Paul   Yureg Rolfedrev (Jrolfedrev) New Member Username: Jrolfedrev Post Number: 22 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 16, 2004 - 11:51 pm:    Sterling Jaguar in Temecula, CA charges $521.00. Thanks for all your input.   John Gadd (Roverdude) New Member Username: Roverdude Post Number: 33 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2004 - 12:02 am:    Yureg, I would hesitate bringing your Land Rover to a Jaguar center. Give my Service Writer, Eric, a call. Have him deduct what you can do yourself and save significant $. At the least, keep it in the Land Rover family and call Inland Rovers @ (909) 354-5400. Ask for Gordon. They own and work on Discoverys!   Yureg Rolfedrev (Jrolfedrev) New Member Username: Jrolfedrev Post Number: 23 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2004 - 12:48 am:    John, Thanks for the info. I'll definitely going to call Gordon. I did check their site http://www.inlandrovers.com/gpage1.html seems like they have a nice slider.   Matthew Daggett (Mldaggett) New Member Username: Mldaggett Post Number: 1 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2004 - 12:27 pm:    Does anyone know of anything that can be done to make a Disco 2 run well on 87 octane fuels?
