So you're saying your LR dealership quoted you $300 - $400 to replace the mount(s) and cover? This just happened to me over the weekend (Jan 24, 09) - was your '05 LR3 out of warranty when it happened to you? Did you try to have the dealership fix it under warranty? Thanks.
Mine was $300 just for the mount only, parts and labor. The cover only costs $40, just bought a new one the other day.
I was still under warranty but they said it was not covered because it looked like a rock had hit it right where the bottom cover bolt was. Impact damage was not covered.
After a bit of discussion the dealer ended up taking care of it, but said it was on them because I was a a good cutomer and it was still not cover under the warranty.
To be honest since then I have taken the mount off and on a couple times and it is easier then it looks once you figure out the top bolt access.
