All normal d3/4 stuff, front lower arms can be a pita so I would say you need a garage to do them as you wont have the kit to do the job on the driveway.
Cv gaiter is not a 5 minute jobs, but as arms off anyway it wont be the end of the world.
Brake pipes front to rear also a biggish job, and again not really driveway material.
Plus other bits that inevitably break as you strip the rest down, I reckon you are into the thick end of 500 quid just in parts alone, and that is using cheap arms etc.
Add in some labour

Definitely well into four figure territory I'd say and although it's hard to gauge, depending on the garage, you'll be without it for a good few days. I should think the best bet would be an independent Land Rover garage, so maybe there'll be someone along soon to point you in the right direction not too far from Warrington shortly.

The only parts of the front to rear brake pipes that are visible to the tester (and the only parts that corrode) are above the rear axle so I'd buy the LR pre-formed repair sections and fit those. It takes about 1.5-2.0 hours to do and is far preferable than replacing the whole pipe. The rest of it isn't a big issue and is 'bread & butter' work for LR focussed indies these days, about 1.5 hours per side to replace the front lower arms and the CV boot is no biggie once the wheel hub is unbolted from the lower ball joint. With wheel alignment, there's no more than a days work there.

Took me 3 days to change my D3 lower arms had to cut both off, plus cost of 4 wheel alignment.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Land Ranger Services in Middlewich isn't too far away....
Only used them once, but they fettled what needed fettling. £75/hr for Labour.

Mot repairs can anyone help me please
Good afternoon my name is Joe and I'm disabled with a spinal cord injury, I use a wheelchair because of my injuries. Unfortunately for me I have been diagnosed with thoat cancer. I can't speak loud enough to use a telephone as the cancer has damaged my voice cords.
I do know some of you don't like people asking for help on your landrover site, I really do apologise for this.
I'm asking for anyone who can do the repairs of my rangerover sport 2.6 by. On a 2006 plates. This is the fail sheet. Thankyou very much for taking the time to read my email today. I wouldn't be asking unfortunately someone let me down on repairing my car.
So sorry I forgot to say I live in warrington Cheshire.
"Bumping" this merged thread, in the hope than someone can help Joe who has been waiting for help since 28th October.
