costliest part for disco

[skidmark77]

Was just looking at the roverparts site to see if the story that p38 brake master cylinders were really as expensive as ive been told

bloody hell!!!!
just wondering what the single most outragously priced thing on a disco is, some thing that gives you that feeling of backside violation, when you can only go genuine or genuine aftermaket?

stuff like modules would be expensive i guess and srs stuff?

Probably one reason why used car dealers will only pay a pittance for that model.

Costliest price I have been quoted on repairs was a new chassis close to $15000.00 installed

abs sensor for me at this moment sure it cost something stupid like 400 bucks

I don't know what the most expensive part is but I'd put money on it being invloved with ABS/traction control. Perhaps the main ECU.

The most expensive part I've bought for my Disco1 (besides tyres) cost about $70 and it was the brake master rebuild kit STC2901.

I need a bush for the ACE short arm bar thingy on my D2. I was quoted about $200.00 for this sealed bush. I also need a new water pump for my series 3 2.25 diesle, was quoted by a partcular spare parts place at silverdale in sydney at over $300.00 bucks. but then shoped around and can get one through my local auto shop for $90.00 bucks. so it dos pay to make a few calls.

Your kidding mine cost $1000 each:eek: oh well, insurence paid for it.:D

$900 for a secondhand steering box, couldnt get a new one for 300 TDI disco and I would hate to know how much a new one would have been anyway.

Note to self, dont land the steering box on to of a stump, they dont like it.

thats the same reason , 'most L/R's are good wreckers, 'according to one of our wreckers up here who had a really good nick 88 RR, but wouldn't sell it to me whole.

And ABs sensors , well DB has nailed that one, why so high after all they are only a tube with wires hanging out of it.

Its just amazing that a single item can be so expensive. you look at a part and think theres 20 bucks worth of metal in it, and you want how much? i know its a bit more complicated than that but you see my point. is there a regular fail rate with control modules.....being lucas and all? i can imagine an airbag control module would be pricey:eek::o

TD5 cylinder head would be pretty exxy as are injectors.
