Rear damper and spring replacement cost

[andrew.graham97934]

Hi All.
I want to replace my rear dampers and springs on my 2006 XKR Coupe (X100).
I am debating (with myself) whether to have this done at a garage or by myself at home.
Does anybody have any idea of the number of hours of labour a garage would charge for this work?
Thanks all.

In the days when these cars were new and under warranty, the Jaguar standard time paid to dealers for the replacement of a single spring was not much over one hour. Add to that, the reality of 20 years bolt corrosion and you would expect to pay at least a couple of hours per spring for a garage fully equipped with all the special tools necessary. Mike.

Thanks Mike. That's about what I was expecting.
