Hi all, any recommendations for a Land Rover independent for servicing? New to the family, want to make sure it's being looked after properly. Looking at the Greater London / Surrey sort of area. I know, wrong forum but I'll find a dedicated forum and post there too.

Can't help either, but impressed to see London and Land Rover in one sentence except on insurance sites where they say they don't cover :lol:

I have a Range Rover Sport and use an independent in York. Nowhere near you I know but I got the details from the RRSPORT.CO.UK Forum. There are loads of members on their from all over the country so will get good recommendations from there .
BMW E89 3.5i M Sport manual, loving it….
Audi S5 Cab, Great car but not special enough….
BMW E89 3.5i DCT, Havana Brown, should never have sold it…..
BMW E85 3.0 Auto, sadly missed (twice)

Not quite London, but close to m25, m23, m3, m4 sort of areas. I do the 50 odd mile to Ross in Hook, but that’s me. Closer the better really.

Sadly not an oldie although if we had the space probably would have one! I’m a fan of the old defenders (90/110). This one is (only) 10 odd year old.

Ahem! I assume you mean 'air portable?'
Rattled many a mile in those. Great fun!

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Completely off topic, but sat in the back of this up to the top of one of the highest peaks in Madeira today, was on 397k!

It will get you anywhere, but it you don’t need to get ‘anywhere’ they’re a bit lost on me tbh.

I would imagine there is a decent LR indie on every corner, seeing how bloody unreliable they are and that the dealers charge even more than BMW! :o
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!
