I have dealt with Farnell at Guiseley West Yorkshire for the last 4 years and have bought/had serviced/repaired 3 land Rovers from them. ( Two Freelander 1's - still got and a Freelander 2 HSE SD4 bought Dec 2010 )

When first looking to buy four years ago I went to all the LR dealers in the area and found that Farnell's to be the most honest, attentative and straight dealers of the lot - so of course I have dealt with them. They are not the closest but worth the travel.

They have continued to give good support and service all this time and I will contnue to use their services as they always make you feel you are a valued customer.

The service team are particularly good and knowledgable keeping abreast of new info to do with faults, updates and servicing issues.

I would recommend them to anyone wanting to buy a new or used LR.

They even sent me a large Thornton's Chocolate Easter Egg a couple of weeks ago.( That's not the reason I am recommending them - honest! ).

Absolutely and totally agree

Me too!!

And I got an egg too!! LPR take note!!

Might be worth mentioning that most opf the dealers in and around Bradford / Leeds are now owned by Farnells (4 at last count) who are part of the Co-op so you get points when you buy too. Cash later once the dividend is announced.  There's always a way forward!

What a relief to read those comments although I was satisfied with how they dealt with my enquiry the clincher was - timing - as they were due to take delivery of an sd4 hse in the exact spec I was after! Other dealers couldn't produce until later in the year - Due for delivery next week - first LR since driving a 1953 model whilst my dad wasn't looking..........now tell me more about those coop points?

Everytime you spend at any Co-op (Inc Farnells) you get points on your card, twice per year the company profits are added up and shared out dependant on how much you have on your card. Speak to the sales rep you've been dealing with as your 'big' recent spend has to be worth some cash back

Go to the co-op website, this link might work...

Depends on their profit for the 6 month period, but if your hoping for £46,999.99 back then I think you'll be dissapointed The card is free and works on the principle of them wanting you to spend at the co-op, but the important point is that you are not paying anything extra in the value of your goods. I like most people on here shop around the internet for parts but if your going to spend there anyway on parts or whatever, then get a card.

It's not to be confused with the Morrisons fuel card where you pay 1p/2p extra for their fuel (compared to say Esso down the road) and after spending around £500 in fuel you get a 'free' £5 voucher

i already have a card, just wanted to know how much, the wife got a cheque for £1 the offer year, wasn't even worth having a trip to the bank to cash it, now if i was to spend £47k and got back a grand or something it might be a bearing factor of the hypothetical deal or when i come to change Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I got enough to cover two monthly repayments for nothing - but I am told that was a good year. The Divi is not a fixed amount so you never know until you get it.

Just a note - you get it on all the spend even if some of this is done via finance.

Went to see the film 'West is West' the other day (It's a follow up, but not anywhere near as good as 'East is East' IMHO). Watched it with some friends who live in Allerton Bfd and later went back to their house - thought we were driving through the film set

Must admit East is East is one of my favourite films - mainly because it parodies what I saw growing up in Bradford (E is E is set in Manchester). Things have moved on but not necessarily for the better.  There's always a way forward!
