It felt a little that way. I really don't understand garages sometimes, I've got what I think is a reasonable budget to find a workable solution (a couple of grand) and yet trying to get engagement from people is not easy at all.
Fair enough, I asked for tough love and got it
That's fine by me, just got to find a garage who knows the cars to some extent who is on the same page. Thanks again Jon, solid advice as always. J |

There must be a reasonable LR specialist in your neck of the woods?

There are a couple yes, I've got the car booked in for a "pre-MOT" check on 25th October with a new specialist that I have not used before - I almost had to beg them as they stated they were not taking on new customers ........ luckily I went there in person and I think they took pity on me. My usual garage is still an option but I have got the feeling that they don't really want to get into the muck and bullets of a 16 year old car and the quotes seem to be going beyond what would be normally acceptable (to me at least) - the cars they tend to have in the shop are usually either collectable Landies or other LR product less than 10 years old. No complaints about it from me, its their business to decide what they put their energy into. Hopefully after the 25th I'll be able to talk to the new garage about the car in a general sense and see if they will work with me for solutions. We shall see |

It's probably not beyond repair and all of the warning lights are likely to all be related to the gearbox.

Glad you're getting to the bottom of this issue. Will be interesting to see what they find! Fingers crossed it's nothing too expensive.

Hi, I couldn’t really say it’s any different to how you would expect it to drive other than obviously all the old issues have gone with a far more responsive car again.
