Shame you didn't put a call out before on here. MJ Fews in wootton-under-edge/charfield did my Pax inlet manifold (£1600) and there is Craig here n this forum and my current favourite (and best of a good bunch) is Steve at T & S Norman near Shepton mallet.

We get booked up weeks in advance! BUT, we usually have an amount of trade cars here that can be moved aside for retail clients... Works pretty well...

Ah dolphinboy mj fewes was recommended to me by bucklands so gave them a call and they too are fully booked for the next 4 weeks.

Spoke with a friend who is a general mechanic (has his own place in long Eaton) and he’s the same, most of his work is getting cars ready for people taking them on long road trips for the first time as they’d normally go overseas. He’s just finished replacing EGR’s on a 3.6tdv8 and has 4 weeks work booked in.

Think I've hit a bit of luck here. The Indy phoned me yesterday and quoted £1250 for intake manifold supply and fit plus full service. From what I've been reading some folk have been quoted £1800 supply and fit just for the intake manifold. I shall see what his workmanship is like when I collect it next week. Does that sound about right price wise?

Hi everyone,

I’m new on this forum & recently purchased a tdv8 4.4

I’m northwest based & looking for an Indy service centre recommendation.
A list would be great & maybe some feedback.

Thanks
Dean

Henshall Engineering, or a bit further afield, you have JAS Land Rovers and Alltrack 4x4, depending exactly where you are
