All the indies I can find in Ireland seem to be Dublin or parts south. Can anyone recommend someone in the northern half, either Republic or Nor'n Irelan'?

Up where I am (NW), they like their Toyotas, even Discoveries, but you hardly ever see a Range Rover. If I'm going to do something as rash as buy one, I reckon I'm going to need to find an indie I can trust, preferably within two hours of me.

I'm pretty well settled on a 4.2 supercharged, as I do lots of short journeys, often a month between long runs, and without any fast roads nearby everybody here gets DPF problems with modern diesels sooner or later.

I'm lucky to have a couple of good general mechanics locally and an auto-electrician whom I could trust to do stuff, so that should help, but an indie is bound to be needed in time, I guess, even if it's only for preventative stuff.

Thanks for your thoughts. Wonderfully helpful forum this.

White mountain 4x4 in Lisburn, BT28 3SN, are very good. I think the service lad there is called Christy.

Thanks Rover T. I'm in the west, but Lisburn is still nearer than Dublin.

The lack of indies has been putting me right off making the FF leap. This is Toyotaland for a reason.

Straight up M1 ,turn off junc 9 toward airport,5/6 mile right turn , into small village,White mountain on right ,just beside a filling station.

Many thanks.
