My X Type 3.0l Sport manual is booked in today for a new sump gasket and new rear link arms on both sides. Just wondering what the likely bill will be. Any guesses?

Are you going to a Jaguar Dealer, or an Independant (I hope the latter)

It came to a grand total of £455.98 at Swallows of Rooksbridge. £118.07 parts and £210 labour. Very reasonable I reckon!

Seems very reasonable! I was thinking stealer rates. I bet it would be more than that for a main stream car at a dealers.
