Especially given the choice of vehicle if there was that much money at his disposal.

Just my .02
Youd be surprised the way some parents with money treat their kids today .. especially when they "want" something .. guy I used to work for .. gave both his kids 18 19 ..a job with a corner office .. a new BWM and Mercedes .. the 100k models .. not the 600 month payment plans .. he forced his employees to answer to them in meetings . it was demoralizing to everyone who earned their place there .... can you even imagine being 40-50-60 years old professional with solid qualies .. and having to answer to some spoiled brats.. because they are the bosses kid .. and you can't say nothin .. or the bosses ego gets mad ..


The kids had everything handed to them since day #1.. the Dad used to brag about how "successful" both his kids were.... comparing them to other peoples kids their same age ... fact is those kids couldn't even wipe their asses unless someone bought em toilet paper .. the daughter was the biggest brat you ever seen in your life ... I lost it on her and gave em all a piece of my mind ...

All this added up to be around $9,500 for parts and labor. Just got back the rover and she is purring.
$9.5K in parts and labor? Was this done at a Land Rover dealership? How much did you initially buy your Disco for?
No disrespect but 16 of those items you could have easily done yourself by googling the processes and saved a lot of money. But I'm a cheap bastard tho. lol

Isnt there some kind of trouble they could get into? How many hours did they over charge for changing these things?

Can you post a screen shot of the bill(s)?

You and your dad have more money than brains. A fool and his money are easily parted.. Now that it's fixed you should keep it to get your money's worth. In the mean time, learn how to fix it yourself. It won't be the last time it needs service and it's the only way these trucks are worth owning. Or sell it to one of us; someone will be happy to have a repaired Rover, cheap. Or you could trade it for a fraction of what you have into it on something else that needs repairs. And if you're trolling us, go fak your hat.

I got it bad. My mechanic raised his price from $30 an hour to $35 an hour. For that price I don't like to get my hands dirty. Sometimes I feel a little left out so I do things myself for fun. The only bad part is that my mechanic is about 90 and a real grumpy bastard.
