Isuzu Trooper Owners Club UK™

I got my trooper back on monday after having the mot and remedial work carrried out, it ended up costing £321
Can anyone tell me if this is reasonable because i personally thought it was a wee bit excessive, this is the work they carried out:

Mot test (failed on cv boots, corroded brake pipe and some split pins missing from ball joint nuts, number plate partially obscured by towing bracket)

remedial work:
Replace 2 outer cv boots
replace split pins
replace 3 solid brake pipes
remove towing bracket/guard for duration of test
Mot partial retest

I did know about the cv boots and i supplied them i also attempted to fit them at the same time as i did the discs and pads but unfortunately i didnt have a big enough socket for the bottom ball joint hence the missing split pins  
The garage had the car all day saturday sunday and monday

Be cheap for a main dealer not bad really for a normal garage... that include labour, parts, vat?

think most mechanics are charging £35-45 a hour now bout 50 for mot think you have had a bargain
the tow bar thing is pathetic most cars with a tow bar obscure it slightly

cheers guys the garage i used last year must have been very cheap then, it passed with towing guard on too but i suppose thats upto the testers discretion.

I'd need a bloody big tow hook to get in the way of my number plate
