Book time - steering rack gaiter?
Please can anyone tell me what the book time is for replacing a single steering rack gaiter on a 2011 V70?
Car failed MOT on it yesterday (2 weeks after a service where it wasn't picked up???). I let them do it and was charged 1.5hrs fitting for the privilege? Looking under the car it looks like a half hour job. Have I been fleeced? Many thanks.

Many thanks.
I've sent an email to their customer service helpline querying the cost. If I get anything back then I'll owe you a pint!

No, I paid for that separately!
I was sceptical about the boot in the first place as I had the car serviced two weeks ago at a local Volvo specialist (First Choice, who I found from recommendations on here) and they went through everything, but made no mention of a failed boot. The odds of it failing between then and the MOT are tiny, so I was sceptical about how it got 'damaged' in the first place. Doubly so when I got the bill. It was an expensive day - 4 tyres, MOT, 4-wheel align and then the boot on top of it all. (Just for clarity, it was not First Choice who did the tyres and MOT!!)

I may be guilty of misjudging these guys but it really does sound like a con job.
