Bought my first D3 from Fews and used them for warranty and servicing, didn't buy my second from them as I felt the salesman was an arrogant siht, stopped using their servicing when they charged me an arm and a leg for activating sat nav on the move!
Nowt wrong with Tim Fry, but you could also try Bourton Landrovers in Bourton on the Water, they do all my servicing, and the owner did his apprenticeship at TFL.
For really technical stuff and when you are fed up with Land Rover telling you that they can't work out what is wrong, there is a guy who works out of a barn near Stow on the Wold, now he is one clever basrtard, I use him for all my technical stuff on my work kit and he also does all the wiring stuff I am not confident with, he has done some clever things on my 90 and is meticulous. We call him Anal Adrian, but he prefers Adrian or Houston! Has all the AutoLogic kit and is Land Rover through and through
If you want his number PM me. D4 HSE Luxury SDV6,

I would take it to Yeovil, nice day out, and a top forum man 
Pm The Large One, he will help you out

been using MJFews for last 3 years and nothing but excellant service and good pricing. had lots of things done under warranty that i was expecting to pay for. the only down side is there crappy courtesy cars !!
bought D3 from Fews and had the best deal I could get after ringing all over the country Duncan

Or drop 10forCash a PM, he does the job a million times better, so I have heard, and he comes to you to service. I am using him this month and he comes highly recommended TBH.
Additionally by using 10forCash, you are using The Large One, thats where the parts come from

Bought my D3 from Fews and they were OK but not cheap! Yeovil has serviced it and I was very pleased with the job even though it was a couple of hundred miles round trip.
There is an independent at Frampton Mansel which is between Stroud and Cirencester but I have no knowledge of their capabilities. Has anyone used them?

Cotswold Land Rovers - were very good with my Defender but closed down a couple of years ago.
There is also an excellent guy in Stroud who is very good with 300tdi and earlier (doesn't want to know about electronics!). Dave Watson at Motorfix. pm for details.

As above I recommend you contact 10forcash (even if still in warranty), but can also recommend Stratstone in Gloucester, they are pricey but I believe they have a price match policy, and their techies are good (and so is their service desk these days) LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

You have to speak as you find. I get on well at M J Fews, Charfield.
They always seem to go the extra distance. 10/10
Just returned from there after some warranty work, done it while I waited
Loads of free coffee
