| service at affordable price |
|
I have just had a quote for my discos third service  Approx 600 uk pounds at todays rate 
I know he lost his landrover and rover consession  and is now just a repair agent but hey
I have found that here as the cash gets shorter unless you have a car starting with the letter R or C for makes
prices for service are going up big time 
would it be cheaper to come over to the uk on a prearranged service and see my grandchildren  and where in uk would be suggested  Up
any help please  i do have a a few bottles of the red stuff (For drinking) 
please help Doing my best on the red wine lake, as its good for the heart
my other 4+4 is a real tractor but not as much fun on road

Give 10forcash a call, I'm sure he will come and service your car whilst you are seeing your grandchildren, probably in the drive outside their house 8)
He did mine the other week, 120000 mile service, did more than Land Rover specified, cleaned and adjusted the park brake, changed ALL the filters, all for a lot less than you are quoting.
Oh, and a very important point. Iain has his own official business - Off Road Essentials, his stamp in my service book, and the Land Rover check list that he provided with all the correct boxes ticked is very reassuring that I got a proper service.
Give him a go, you won't regret it.

Echo Gareth's post... Iain just did my 30K service, have the stamp and a list of items that need doing under warranty too that are good to know.
Top job

My vote goes to Yeovil LR... I am happy to reccomend them to you..im sure you wont be unhappy at their work cost and courtesy..
The Big One here can organise it or tel them and ask for Doug in service and mention Disco3 co uk!
I had my 30K service done there earlier this month far lower than local LR dealers qoute discount on parts and was washed and cleaned!!

Having had dealings with Yeovil, thats where my business will go without doubt. Although watching posts on TFC's service he may be the way to go as the D3 gets older and needs that extra enthusiasm and keen eye to spot future probs early.

Both Iain (10forcash) and Yeovil (TheLargeOne) are equally recommended.
I preferred the option of a personal one to one vehicle service with a true professional at my own home
The other big benefit of course was cost - local dealer (very very good mind) were too expensive this time round, and Yeovil a tad too far to go to and back in a day.
