Book time is 2.4 hrs, extra time is allowed for siezed parts.
The back is a different kettle of fish to the front, (which is just bolt on/off).
Difficult without the special tools.
Regards
Steve

Oh Ok, thanks Nick and Steve ( I assume you aren't million miles apart )
That makes me feel better......why don't LR just up the times, the bits are ALWAYS seized on (not sure about the brake shoes though, am I suddenly going to get a vast improvement in fuel consumption?  )
I was in fact charged book then....they did mention the test drive bit.....the garage neighbours must have loved that, the noise made the EPB screamer seem almost silent 
I'll probably feel better still after a glass of wine this evening......I have been surfing the web looking at D4's, that is how annoyed I was.... end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......
