Dave2302 387 Posted October 4, 2018 From Piston Heads :- Had mine sorted with Bentley Birmingham..They picked my car from N london and gave me courtesy car.. the whole job was about £650 which included free health check.. thought that was good value considering some other crazy quotes I was getting! I actually don't think that is too bad for a Bentley ............................ I recently bought just the LED Lamp Assy for an MB and that was ~ £360 before labour !! Nope the Merc didn't need the Rear Window removing, but it was still a cunt of a job. All things considered, not too bad on the Bentley £650 all up ;).

Blenheim Car Sales 111 Posted October 4, 2018 Guess thats why you start with an £8000 margin on a Bentley so that after prep and a 90 day stock turn you only end up loosing about £2000 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James01 21 Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Well it could be worse if the starter motor or oxygen sensor need replacing you need to drop the engine!! Edited October 5, 2018 by James01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Ayers 171 Posted October 5, 2018 Sold a Focus to a technician at our local VW dealers, that says it all. He was telling me about all the infotaintment units they are replacing, under warranty on the latest Golfs/Passats at £5000 a go. That's not a misprint £5000!
