Morrisons always do mine as i would rather know of any faults. They do seem to always call about a diff oil weep which is minimal on my Defender and Discovery and the GF's Freelander and they like quoting the £150 to fix it. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Yeh, Land Rover sub wiper blade replacement to me now, I charge them £30, they charge you £43 and everyones a winner, well apart from you that is Rolling with laughter

I wish that was true Thumbs Up

It amazes me where they get some of the prices from, I suppose they round everything to the nearest 30 mins so 5 minutes to change a wiper balde becomes 30 minutes hence £43.

I am surprised that a hairline crack in a number plate is a failure provided that the plate is clearly legible and (if the rear) the reflective surface is OK.

'Just MOT's' are a good mob, as the name suggests they don't do any remedial work themselves ...

Also, they often have special offer prices that you can take advantage of up to a year onwards of the offer !

The plate price isn't bad. I would assume the main reason is for that would be not the condition now but maybe whilst driving it might crack a lot more and you wouldn't even notice. Problem with cracks is the often get worse.

They generally make the plates on site, so it is easy money and no wait time.
