Had some work done on the 110 200 tdi this week.
Timing belt kit supplied and fitted Engine oil and filter changed Air filter changed Diesel filter changed Clutch fluid changed Brake fluid changed Coolant change Gearbox/transfer box/diffs oil changed bump stop fitted U.J. replaced rear part of exhaust replaced shock absorber bushings replaced water pump replaced 2 brake pipes replaced two track rod ends replaced R/H mudshield (Defender brakes) replaced Some repairs to outriggers-plating/welding/painted etc 5 new jubilee clips Front headlights set 3 bulbs replaced. The work was done by the independent who built the 110 station wagon for me in 1996. It started life as a 1992 110 pick up but I bought it in 1996 and had it converted into a 9 seater. Anyway the cost including parts/labour/vat etc came to €820 or £692. I have no complaints with the bill as the work is always done well. Wonder what a maindealer would have charged? 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

You probably would have had to sell your house and your souls if you took it to your dealer

I think mine are £50+vat, the local village mechanic is £35-40 but isn't VAT registered.
TBH I think I'm probably going to move back to him for servicing and give him the oil I want him to use. |

You won't get a routine service from a main dealer for that price!

That sounds very reasonable compared to NZ prices
How long was the vehicle with them? I'd have done all of that myself (*) but the issue is time - it takes me ages - and if I'm working it just cant happen. * except water pump and full coolant change, yet to play with those! Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants... |

No fancy showroom and you can get as involved as you want with the work. Many a time I've joined in with the tea breaks while I was down.

We were heading away for a week in the Puma so I left the tdi in while we were away. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |
