P38A 14K Pepair Bill - Ripped?

**RRV80** · 2nd January 2007, 12:54 PM

Its not mine before we start, glad we got that over with,

A freind of mine, she bought a P38A HSE 4.6 brand new in 97' I dont know the whole history of the vehichle, ut she has recently had the heads done and i have just found out she recently spent $14,000 in one hit @ LR for suspension. The EAS i beleive had been faulty for a while so she took iy in and they replaced the compressor, all aibags, the distributions block and pretty much every line, fitting and bolt apparently to do with the EAS system and may have even done a control module or something?

My question is this reasonable fot a major suspension issue to be repaied at LR or did she get ripped of becasue she is a women who is of the older calibre and not very car literate.

It was left by her late husband btw.

Sounds dodgy to me.

When something goes wrong with the EAS, its usually down to one or two components. It is unusual to have to replace every piece.

Sounds like they were just too lazy to figure out the real source of the problem.

Geez she could have got a replacement p38 for those dollars or swapped to coils for a couple k

3 1/2 of them actually

The EAS is expensive to repair sometimes, esp. the compressor & valve block, but I doubt it would come to $14000 if you replaced every single part.

Someone saw her coming

I reckon she got ripped big time.

I mean, what happed to finding out what the problem is and fixing that. Its seems typical of LR repairs, which just seems to be change a part and see if that fixes it, and if not, then change some more parts until it is fixed.

whoever carried out the work didnt advise or diagnose very well. its never all the componant that need to be replaced.Ripped off big time.
Also a spring conversion is possible at a fraction of the price.

It's a shame they didn't take it to MR Automotive at Redcliffe. I reckon the bill would have been a fraction of that.. but then it is a bit difficult without specifics.

Ripped off.

I'd opine that they had no idea of what was wrong.

I wonder if one could complain to LR?

Heart attack time!!!!

This is a sad state of affairs when people get royally ****ed by the LR dealer. This is why I have no time for EAS, too fiddly and costly. Coil springs, whilts not as sophisicated nor has the superb ride of air suspension, it's just simple, reliable and it works. Problem solved

ripped off, unless they included and fitted a replacement chassis to hang the stuff from, take the reciepts and ask questions at consumer affairs.
