Sounds like your garage took you round the back & pulled your trousers down! Where abouts are you?

I think the same, some of the prices don't seem bad but a lot of those jobs could have cost a lot less.

you must be very unlucky to have a head gasket fail on an L-series diesel.

Sounds like they saw you coming! I can't say that none of the work needed doing, but generally the L-series is a very reliable unit, and the prices do seem a little high.

Fuel filter - £10, takes a novice 15 mins to change tops.
MAF sensor - £100 for a new Pierbugh one I think, 10 mins to change.
CV Joints - £20 each
Cambelt kit - £130
Glow plugs - about a fiver each I think, the 4th is behind the fuel pump so perhaps a big charge for labour is justified, but most people just replace 3 of them - I'd have a check and see if you can tell if the 4th one has been changed!

Perhaps you've been unlucky with the car, and with your selection of garage :lol:

yeah my dad used him few times but we have realised his pricing has been excessive hence i no use him again i could have did the cv joints but i broke a bracing bar trying to loosen nut!.dont know wether its work while doing it as the fuel injector pump is noisy too and i lost power not been a good car for me!!.

there again its about brand new lol the joys.
