I have the following works to be carried out by a dealer on a 2.5 year old 4.5 Cerbie:

1. battery dead - needs replacing
2. starter motor produces funny cranking noise - dealer advised new motor required
3. passenger window out of line and there is a very wide gap between rear of window and vertical pillar - door trim needs removal and window re-aligned
4. metal clanking noise from exhaust area when car is cold - baffles(?) loose and need to open up and weld exhaust pipes.

How much should a dealer be charging for all of the above? Would a warranty have covered any of the above (don't have one as I have had the car from new and this is going to be the biggest non-annual service repair bill). I have had a quote but would be interested to know what your opinions are and to see whether I am paying too much.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies, and I will remember what you said. Unfortunately, I was so heartbroken (sick car = sick man) that I had to authorise the dealer to go ahead.

Never heard of garages supplying lap dancers before though!
