As far as I'm aware the LR approved service centres still tend to be small outfits. Eg JLC at Herne Hill and TVLR in Gateshead. They don't sell cars but they are approved for servicing and warranty. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

Well that another one down Ripon dealer changed hands this weekend.
