you are correct
I would argue LR shops see a huge amount of gasket work, and just about every Disco engine seems, in fact, to need gaskets at one point or another.
To the OP, one more vote for never going to the dealer. Spend some time finding who the local LR techs are and get more than one quote. It's pretty common work and they should know off hand how many hours they'll need. Talk to guys in local LR or off road clubs and see where they go for major repair work.
I was quoted just yesterday for head gasket and valve job at $1,800 at my independent Rover shop. '98 Disco I w/ 147k

Land rover shops do see alot of headgasket jobs, the engine is a POS..and dont think you will only have to do this one time... The engine is crap, the bolts are crap and the gasket is crap...otherwise we would not be talking about it.. your best bet is to try your best to do it once..IE, top hat liners, better gaskets and head bolts would be a start....at least you will sleep better..
