Those prices certainly dont sound out of the ordinary to me. Dealers dont use cheap generic parts made in China, so often certain parts can be very expensive.
Not questioning the fact dealers have a huge mark up on "genuine" parts,although I'm pretty certain a wiperblade on a range rover is not made in a land rover factory but bought in from Bosch,Lucas etc hence £35 for the SAME part you get from Bosch for £10 is a pisstake.
My point is more that taking a 7 year old truck to a main dealer and expecting £5000's worth of repairs is gonna raise eyebrows in the warranty company who will most likely say it can be done for a 1/3 of that price.
It's a totally reasonable thing to do but perhaps not a REALISTIC thing to do.
