$4,000 for a new fuel pump? Really???

[GregMilner]

My mate's 2009 RRS 3.6 TDV8 crapped out the other day with a faulty alternator. $2,500 to fit a new one. Drove it home from the repairer and on the way it went into limp mode. Back to the specialist repairer - they tell him they think it's the fuel pump. $4,000 for a new one, ex Sydney (to Perth).

Is that fair dinkum? Anyone have any experience with this?

Dont know whats more scary , that , or the $2500 to fit an alternator.

Just cured me from buying a RRS TDV8

Sorry cant help with the question.

Cheers Ean

This type of thing definitely doesn't help the LR brand.

Was that the stealers price or an Indi?

Don't know the answer to that, Wilf Chambers looks after both my car and his, presume Wilf has access to the best parts supplies...

Although the parts are 'cheap' ( Your Search Results > & http://www.brit-car.co.uk/search.php?xSearch=Wgs500110 ) how hard or easy are they to fit?

But even if you look at an alternator for maybe $1500AUD I can't see how there is $1000 worth of labour?

Even worse with the pump replacement, don't they have the hatch in the floor under the carpet?
