My local dealer charges £124/hour labour. So their 8hour tasks would cost £1000 without the parts.
I am probably wrong but it was my understanding that dealers gave a fixed price quote for jobs, based on JLR specified work times/parts? If the job takes longer than anticipated it’s down to them to pick up any extra cost. Maybe that’s wishful thinking. 🤔
The other point is they were contracted to fix a problem, which despite them saying they had, they haven’t. (Sadly this is a common theme with many dealerships). But as with any contract they have to keep going at their expense until they have corrected the fault you asked them to correct.

If you subtract the JLR price of the part from £1400 and divide by 120 it should give you an idea how long JLR think it should take.
That said independent garages are perhaps not as aware of actual times, hence estimates.
The point about them being contracted to fix a specific problem, which they have failed to do, is however still valid.
Some of the guys on here may have an insight on this specific problem, but ultimately, unless the garage are prepared to go with forum advice (I’ve hit this specific barrier, admittedly with a JLR dealer, in the recent past), it’s down to the garage to find out how to solve what they’ve been paid to do.
