Morning all

Anyone in the Sheffield area recommend a good garages where i can get work done on my freelander 2

really do not fancy paying dealer prices, the garage i have used for years have said they will do normal service work oil air fuel filters and MOT but are not experienced enough for such work as Heldex service.

Go to Austen at Bell Engineering for all transmission and Haldex work. Well recomended on here.

Where abouts is Bell Engineering? do they do other work ?

Is it not possible to use a garage that has Audi/vw or Volvo experience as some of those marques use gen4 haldex units or is there something special about land rover? MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

They may be the best but don't think they are worth a 5 hour round trip:(

I wouldn’t hold your breath with Audi dealers, when we had our Q3 I wanted the Hadley serviced when we hit 25K miles and the Audi dealer (our supplying dealer) said they would not touch it until at least 40K miles.......even though I asked, they said it wasn’t due and would invalidate the new vehicle warranty

I actually don’t think they really knew anything about the Haldex as when I chatted to them about it they thought I meant the auto transmission oil change.....until I explained what the Haldex was! Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

If you are on the North side of Sheffield, these guys are highly recommended. They are a few miles N of Donny on the A19
