I didn't say it was unreasonable.
Depends on labor rates where he lives.
I have no idea what common labor rates are for garages.

 

Thanks for all the tip guys! I was thinking of buying the parts myself and just have the guy install it. What would be a good brand with a reasonable price? I saw Denso for like $60 each. Will that work out just fine? Thanks again...

 

Go to Amazon.com and buy them there, NTK are about $45 each, in my link I posted in your thread I believe is a link to the ones I bought, all DI's with OBDII use the same O2's.

 

Wasn't implying that you did, just stating that for a shop, it sounds like a reasonable price. I am also out of touch with shop labor rates. We have virtually zero competition here, so the various shops all charge $100/hr. In the lower 48, you should be able to find lower shop rates than that if you can't/won't do the work yourself. I recommend doing it yourself and using the money for additional repairs that may be needed.

 

I decided to give it a shot myself. Borrowed an OBD and code said P1316 - Misfire Excessive Emissions Fault. Does that mean the O2 Sensors are fine and it's more like the ignition wires and plugs? What should I replace first?

Thank you in advance everyone...

 

Yes, that is exactly what it means, your O2's are fine and you need a tune up.
Like I said, 98% of O2 codes on a Rover are because it needs a tune up.

 

Wrong, the late 97's and newer use a different 02 sensor for the advanced evap system. Need to verify which you need based on your vin.

 

Thank you for the correction Mike.
