Honest indy in Bucks

Had a full service and timing belt replaced at a garage in High Wycombe, Bucks, I supplied the parts.
This morning I was putting in a live supply for a sat nav and out of curiosity or stupidity I took the pollen filter out and low and behold it was filthy, land rover stamped and not B&B which I supplied!
What else was not done or done that should not of?

So can anyone tell me after 30 odd years of trying to find an honest reliable mechanic, are there any in the Bucks area?

Hopefully someone has found one.
Thanks
Andy

Makes you wonder what else they didn't do? Common sense isn't very common.

Well I've just been looking around it, air filter looks clean and same make as I supplied, fuel filter is new so hopefully oil and filter where changed. Pollen filter is awkward but that's no excuse, they probably never thought it would be coming out until the next service.

Can see a nice shiny new water pump so probably all bodes well for the timing belt, apart from a few hose clips that have been broken removing timing belt cover and a missing cover bolt.

Will not be going back there, so I am still looking for a new place to take it if anyone can recommend someone.

I've used John Dennis 4 x 4 just outside Aylesbury for my Freelander 2 for a service. They seem to do a through jo but only used them for the first time last year. They manly do LR and most own one type of LR's. Have a look at their website. Just type John Dennis 4 x 4 In the search engine. Good luck

Sheep If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.
