£70-80 an hour if you are lucky...?
i thought it'd be about that much. they have already spent 8 hours on it so far, think i'll be putting that bill on the credit card/duhQuote:

Crikes - didn't they tell you how long the work would take, in hours, before they started - or is it 'investigation' work where it takes the same time as a length as a peice of string?
One plus side is it's cheaper where you are - London rates run to around £120 an hour!
If it's major work/service for a London (or other high charge rate place) resident, then you may be able to get a "free" holiday by having in done in a cheaper area (even northern France?).Quote:

if you are have recall work done then the labor is free.
correct recall work is free but the ABS isn't a recaal problem so i'll have to pay 4 itQuote:

Yep, joke at those rates! And the mechanic doesn't see that in his pocket, an hour!Quote:

Bumped across to appropriate forum! :thumbsup:
yeah they are doing the lower arm, heater blower and ASC recalls. is ASC the same as the TCl because that was one of the things i asked them to have a look at as the light was flashing on the dashQuote:

1 If they have found the problem get them to give you a price for the job if to much or they can not give you a price pull it out and get it done by someone that has a clue about the car and are not going to charge a fortune.:whistle:
2 If they have not found the problem and you don't owe to much tell them to leave it alone, then again get it to someone that has a clue about the car and are not going to charge a fortune.:whistle:
3 If you owe a fortune and they have fixed it sorry but you will have to just bend over and take it.:thumbsdow
Dont think there that bad as ive just a quote from teeside mitsubishi to do a 24,000 mile service which includes all tranmission fluid changes, sparks, & oil. They quoted me £320 but maybee cheaper as ive already done the oil change myself.
Surely if they are doing the ASC recall work (which involves removing the main abs block and a few brake lines), they would have to check all abs and give it back to you working with no warning lights?. whether there was an additional prob there or not.
