The labour is only a portion of that ... £472
You are paying for fitting of subframe, adjusting tracking, fitting
handbrake
A lot more than just tightening 10 bolts


Like replacing a £50 thermostat in a diesel freelander. 8 hours to
strip the engine bay down to get to it and put it all back together.
