Can anyone recommend a good indy LR specialist in or near North Wales? There were plenty of options when I was based in Hampshire, but now I'm up 'ere they seem to be thinner on the ground... ironic really as there are plenty of Land Rovers in this part of the world, from farmers' Disco 1s to brand new Defenders!

Need a good indy who is able and willing to do CCF edits and so on...

TIA

HSE with Leather seats and 4 years warrenty.. staying for now !

Have used the main dealer in Chester for servicing of the Ewok, and the first Disco Sport, cheaper then other main dealers, they work to a reasonable standard, and they collect and deliver the car to my place of work 20 minutes away.
They can be persuaded to give 20% discount on parts, useful when pads last 20k and discs only 40k.
If I have it done at my local (very good) Indie LandRanger Services Atherton (Nr Bolton) I lose a days pay, so it can work out cheaper to have it done by the main dealer. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

How far up are you Matt is Ceredigion too far down?



 If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Freelander 2 HSE auto 2014 ( Florrie ) ..... Try again.
Freelander 2 GS 2012...... Gone.

I'm near Porthmadog, so Aberystwyth or thereabouts would be within hitting distance.

Thanks for the other suggestions all, much appreciated. Good to hear that the main dealer at Chester even has some positive feedback too!

Bell Automotive (Deeside) supplied and fitted cambelt and water pump for £420 last year. And a full service cost £240.

So instead of £840 at the main dealer for those bits; I paid £660.

For what it's worth I've also had the haldex serviced by them at a cost of £216.
