Where to use...in Southeast (Colchester’ish)

Hi

Wanna get mine serviced, oil pump changed, belts changed and transmission flushed as having read loads on here, seems the route to go.

Any recommendations re where to go?

TIA

About an hour from you but I've started using this guy... Alan Curtis Independent Land Rover & Vehicle Technician in Holton/Halesworth... probably others more local to you though...

Seems very knowledgable (almost to DM levels Laughing ) and ex-workshop manager for JLR Main Dealer before setting up on his own... did a great job on changing my torque convertor and wouldn't let the car go until he was happy with everything.. stuck to the quoted price as well... Very Happy I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Broadfields Garage near Dunmow might be a better option... also very good... I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!
