Repair mechanic required
So I’ve got my D4 sitting in the garden with an EGR exhaust problem?
I’ve had two quotes off local garages and both are pretty steep.
I don’t want to scrap the vehicle so I think I’ve two options:
One: sell it as it is (and I may do that): 147k, 2009, mot Jan 25, Bali blue + +
Two: get it fixed elsewhere? I am willing to stick it on a flatbed & ship it wherever in the UK & get it fixed.
So I’m looking for recommendations for specialist garages - closer to home may be cheaper - Scotland or north England but really I’m looking for someone who can DO THIS.
Many thanks,
John

These are 20” Overfinch alloys? This D4 has 4” lift kit + 2” spacers which allows the extra room, but yeah I agree: it looks ace!
