I'm picking up my recovery eyes tomorrow. The dealer offered to fit them at £180 an hour (estimate 2 hours work).
I thanked them and said I'd do it myself! One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS + New Defender 110 First Edition |

I suppose the key question is whether the workshop is fully booked at £180 per hour, if so, the price is about right (although shockingly outrageous).
If the workshop is idle for much of the time, you're right, the price should be lowered. I suspect that the workshop is largely busy doing warranty work at a rock bottom rate of remuneration for JLR and the £180 per hour is the max rte that can be sustained in the reserve capacity to subsidise the warranty work. ![]() |

They also have to pay for those expensive new corporate image showrooms that all the dealerships are forced by LR to “invest” in Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

I was thinking about doing the same, however the vehicle has not arrived, and when it does they are going to be adding a host of accessories anyhow, such as fixed side steps, deployable ladder, RAI, roof rack, wheel arch protection, mud flaps etc, i thought best let them do the work at the same time to save pulling the vehicle apart twice.. with a mild hope that my extra parts would get lost in the whole scheme of things ![]() no chance of that ![]() MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |
