...and they say "Oh, Christ!" when you tell them it's the 5.0 supercharged!

This is fine.

I'm not aware of any in the New Forest, and nearby Brooklyn 4x4 won't touch petrol vehicles...so I've had to go a little further out.

To be fair to them they are super busy at the moment and booked up for the next four weeks, so he was trying to determine if he could squeeze me in around existing work.

The brilliant reaction indicated that was not going to be possible

Who? West 4x4? Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Ha, that was from a while back. Well it was West 4x4 and Mark did a great job servicing and checking over the vehicle - well worth the trip!

He'd just serviced an L405 supercharged as well if I remember rightly, so he certainly has no issues with petrol fatties

Yes, Craig also someone I'll also talk to when those bigger jobs come round - I'll need to get the chain done at some point...!

I know from a forum member that Roy from LR Christchurch main dealer has moved to New Forest Garage Services in Cadnam is a go-to for our motors. Definitely a place to use if in "the Forest".

Oh wow, thanks for the tip - that's just made my day!

I know the place, it's just up the road from me, but hadn't managed to find any recent FFRR recommendations since they changed hands.

I'll give them a try soon

Keep us all posted please. I think they will getting additional kit to service etc. Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
