Members from Sweden to visit UK - September 2011

Hi, we are four Discovery owners and members from Sweden who will visit UK during a week in September 2011 and there are a couple of things I would like your advice and suggestions for.

First, we will fly in and out from Manchester airport and are looking for a suitable Land Rover/Range Rover to hire for a week. If you have any suggestions on a car hire company we would be happy if you could share this with us.

We are looking to stay somewhere around Coventry, but we are flexible and can stretch ourselves a bit further for a nice and LR friendly B&B or small hotel so it would work roughly between Derby and down to Oxford. The lodging should be suitable for up to 8 persons, since we will meet up with some more LR friends who will come with car from Sweden. A nice country/farm setting is preferred but not required.

On our agenda is to visit a couple of LR parts dealers, pick up some e-bay findings and spend a day touring the HOTL as well as LRO Peterborough.

Any feedback appreciated. Very Happy

You should try Enterprise for hiring a Land Rover, they supply all the replacements for those of us unfortunate to have to use LA Assistance. Other than that, try SHB 4x4 hire.

If you put a post up of the locations of your eBay items other members may be able to help in collecting them for you in advance. I will be going to Peterborough so if you have bought anything from eBay that is near to me (Preston) then let me know as I'm happy to collect for you.
