He’s quoting timing belts. I had them done at dealer for sub $1k a couple of years back. (Negotiated price)

He also had $3k worth of manifolds done - at a guess had the belts done same time.

Just had a 90,000 km service done and there were a couple of items they suggested doing next service - transmission service at 100,000 km and since the car will be 7 years old by then (albeit, a long way short of 182,000kms) the timing belts. I asked what the timing belts (plural) would cost - and they suggested $2400.

Will also need new tyres so it's going to be an expensive 7th year ...

Belts are much shorter term than that when used in “arduous conditions” - which is urban use, towing, offroad.

Hi Tombie,

Just researching belts and came across your post - did you ever get the bulletin?

cheers!

Belts (plural) includes front timing belt and rear hpfp belt.

Reasonable price is around 1600-1800. 2400 is too much.

Hmmm. One LR dealer has just quoted me $3,234.62 for the 7 year / 182,000 km service.

Go somewhere else

I will - the indi I've actually booked with quoted $2,400 and another dealer quoted $2,900 so $3.2k is not competitive.
