Mines booked in Friday morning, 7:30 Shocked

Jobs done so far:

Fuels lines replaced (leaking)
OS outer CV boot (split)
Exhaust (mostly missing)
2 patches on the sills

still to do ...Bottom ball joint (o/s) split on sunday after i'd rebuilt, after doing the cv boot Rolling Eyes

, rear bump stops are MIA, axle's still p*ss*ng oil out, and some of the chassis looks a bit suspect.

...At least i'll have a list to work from. As has been discussed in another thread, some of the above aren't failures so, you never know.

Mine's coming in at £550, but that's based on their manual saying 2.5hrs to change a Monterey CV joint. I'm hoping that they'll be able to use the shortcut mentioned in another thread & get it down to an hour......
