Land Rover and reasonable price shouldn’t be used in the same sentence...

Like Pajero and parts availability.

Or Fearless and original clutch.

Serves you right for being a ticky tight-ass cheapskate and trying to save a few pennies like Paul#25 and not going OEM from the outset Image
You are changing facts like a Off Road Insurance Broker.

The CV Boot was torn, the Side-Shaft was fine.
I took it to SAC Centurion to sort it inter alia, out.
SAC took it upon themselves to grab a CV they had replaced out oof the bin & fit that instead.
They then gave me a yarn that the CV had gotten too much dust.
The charge of R1500 odd was suspiciously low.
4000km later that SAC used crap CV snapped like a Disco 3 TDV6 crank.
SAC said they refund me, but never did because they are crooks.
