1.5 hours labour for doing the job, it was a Rover specialist garage I use, they did my 90,000 mile service last year and charged me £335 but I did supply all the belts, water pump, plugs, etc

Have seen the shoes cheaper on e bay for 20 quid, If I supply the parts and the garage then fits them, I have no come back if anything goes wrong

Least if they supply and fit the parts and anything goes wrong then at least they will do something about it

Had a new steering rack fitted last year

Labour £120
Steering rack (not Rover) it was 100 quid cheaper than Rover £236.83

Its a lot cheaper than I thought it would be to run but then I am only doing about 5000 miles a year

If I was doing about 10K to 20 K a year I would not be able to afford and run this car

Would end up with some cheap Foreign thing
