you're going to end up with triggers old broom at this rate!

No disrespect OP - but I wouldn't have a Mitsubishi - parts are soooo dear.

Mistake, in my mind, was going to the dealership and paying their labour rates.

I'd go elsewhere and get an independent quote. But getting it fixed in next few days is a bit tricky, most good places will be booked up (we are for next 2-3 weeks). Bet stealership has the time tho. Wonder why ..

i used to have a pajero (shogun import) and found milner offroad to be quite cheap for spares

draining a brake system is no big deal , once its on the lift any garage will have it re filled and bled in minutes

theyre ripping you off...a local independant may charge as low as £35-40 an hour vs dealers are nearer £100 and i cant see the part being £500

but i guess if its been towed there and you need its too late now, best learn from the mistake and find a decent local guy thats honest for next time

As a dealer we charge about £50 for a brake sytem fill and bleed, so even by comparison with a dealer Mitsi is expensive.

Thanks for all the advice folks. An expensive lesson learned it seems. Steve, the part is £300 new, from our research, plus two hours labour.

Markelock, triggers old broom would certainly be cheaper (and probably more reliable.) If we're real lucky, it may even have brakes LOL.
