What would or should I be looking at for cost of replacing the rear cam seal?

Hi Steve
Everyone here saying body has to come off and if it can be done with body on, its better.
If you could do an exception and book mine in. Il drive down and drop it off. Make a weekend in London and pick it back up day after or something 😁
Thanks
Imran

There is no reason that the job can't be done with the body on. With the correct tools.
Tell them TOPiX shows you how.

Any chance you can do it for the price you were saying and any sooner mate
Thanks

Hi Imran,
Daft as this might seem, if you're willing to travel and fancy a day out, give these guys a buzz
:
https://corshamtyres.co.uk
They have looked after all my Discovery's and now look after my daughter's D3. They really know their way around them and I believe were the main reason my Old Bus was the most reliable car I've ever owned.
They also have free loan cars and Bath is right next door so you can have a lovely day out.  New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)
Sold Volvo XC90 R-Design (known as Basil)
Sold - D4 HSE (Known as Gerty)
No longer the Old Buses original owner 
231,000 miles and counting
05 S manual owned from March 2005
D4 Face lifted
Still original injectors and turbo
V8 Front brakes
BAS Remap, Allisport Intercooler and deCat
EGRs blanked
T-Max split charge
Hanibal Expeedition rack
Prospeed ladder
Duratrac tyres
IID BT
BAS FBH control

Dealers around here are £200 per hour, so there's £800 gone already!

Yeah same here most likely. And for a 4 hour job crazy charge for a £50 belt and £10 seal. Think this will be last Land Rover if costs for a simple seal change is like this
