woody:
friends of my brother have a shogun sport

driving down the motorway the diff seizes up they got recovered to a garage in Preston
and have been given a price for repair

£1100 for parts
£300 labour  :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

i did drop into the conversation that if it was a landrover you could probably get a diff for £20 - £40
 and fit it in a couple of hours :cool: :cool: :cool:


question is why is the cost so high

Saffy:
I do not know if that is a fair price or not, but if they do not want the work then they will price accordingly. My uncle will give a stupid high quote for a job he doesn't want to do on a vehicle and he says some still agree! Also I think there is scope for the possibility that if a vehicle is recovered to a garage then they might try it on with a high quote as the already stressed owner may actually cough it up there and then, the vehicle is right there after all and would be under pressure to get it moved from the garage or suffer storage fees, not sure how that work?

barmiebrumie:
Not sure what year it is or front or rear, so done a quick check on 2000 onwards


front diff £1,452.30  + 3 hrs labour

rear diff £1,065.42 + 1.5hrs labour

hope thats some help

Wow, if that's the case, I wish I could earn that hourly rate..... A minimum of £100/hour or £200/hour if it's a rear  :shock: :shock: Nice work if you can get it  :lol:

Disco Matt:
How on earth do Mitsubishi justify a price tag of over £1k for a diff?  :shock:
