My x748 was picked up by the local JD service guys here in Australia. After a week they identified my problem was a leaking radiator. A quote just arrived which I’ve converted to US$’s:
$462 to identify the leak
$941 for a new radiator plus $25 freight
$357 for fitting of the new parts.
I don’t think I need to ask the “am I being ripped off” question as obviously I am.
My question is, how hard is it to fit a new radiator? I am thinking of challenging the identification charge, then pick it up and replace it myself with an OEM (probably from the US as there are no suplliers here).
Any advice/suggestions greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Phil
