Default Range Rover

Any one know of a good independent Range Rover specialist in Eass Sussex. I've bought a new style 2002 Vogue V8 that needs new pads, dealer quoted £400 which seems somewhat excessive.

Bought an extended warranty that covers a fair few things, but I'm not prepared to be shafted on things it does not cover.

Any help much appreciated

£400 for new pads!!

Just get down to your nearest Quick-Fit type garage, and get them to change the pads for £60.

You cant really go wrong with changing pads, and its not going to require a stamp in your service book - so why pay more at a specialist/dealer?

I recently paid £48 for new rear pads (fitted) from a Quick-fit type place on my 2002 A4 - Audi specialist wanted ~£100 and I dont even bother asking the dealer for quotes for stuff liek that anymore.

Unless of course they over torque the wheel nuts and you sheer 5 of the 10 studs while driving through Brussels .....
