Hi all, finally picked up a ffrr - very happy.

I want to get a service and general check over done. Anyone recommend somewhere nearby?

I’m mid way between Salisbury, Andover and Winchester.

Cheers
Steve

Many thanks, Richard/motormedic is just around the corner! Did you have your Range Rover serviced there?

Other place I found was pex5x5 in Abbotts Ann

I tend to do all my own servicing, but Richard did do it once when I first got it, and some front suspension work for MOT. ( This was on my '02 L322 ).

He uses Keith Gott in Alton for parts (and probably advice....) .

I’ve used Alan Haighton in St Mary Bourne, competent mechanic with lots of RR experience, but not a specialist. 01264 738606.
Pex 5x5, who are just down the road from me, were disappointing in their communication. More Defender, judging by the piles of spares in their barn.
Fortunately I work in Basingstoke so not too hard to get to Rovertune. 2010 Bournville Vogue

Cheers all - booked into Keith Gott for a service and check over next week

That would be great !

It’s had an engine, box, both turbos, alternator, starter, egr bits, belts, tensioners etc recently so hopefully the big ticket items done.

The ride is a bit choppy and feels a bit loose so looking forward to what Gott have to say!

Engine and box? Do you mean oil changes? 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
