| Seems about right. Mine is usually 400ish for minor and 750 for major. Add in pads which are normally needed and add 200 more. |

| Would be more than three grand. We charge £38 an hour, so to remove all doors bonnet and bumpers, prepare and paint body, doors shuts, under bonnet you would be looking at more like 4500 grand. |

| As already disclosed, and especially as you say you only get the fault at full throttle, it will be worse case, a turbo. The fault code for this will be positive pressure variation. But you need to ge ... |

| Most ODB code readers won't display Land Rover fault codes or will show that there are none recorded. EGR will bring management light on from start up. |

| That does sound like limp mode. Could be having been sat up on a forecourt has gummed something up. Having just spoken to grown up, EGR is also a possibility so get code read. |
