Bollocks...just Bollocks!

Well ma 110 is in a local garage getting a nice new gearbox (from Andy at AW transmissions top lad) clutch and a few parts changed ready fur winter. Told Tim any dramas call me!

So today got a call saying, where the cross member fits there is a lovely hole that has been bodged and your going to need a fair bit of welding.

Went and looked, not impressed as its right were the cross member fits. So the welding needs a bit more care than just a typical patch.

So bollocks.....had a small back up fund that I really didna want to spend..........MRM Landrovers (now called Heritage Landrovers ) strikes again.....

Double up the roses tin to make the weld stronger.

Your the second person this week to mention AW transmissions. SO you like them then?

Funny enough your also another person to mention there not happy with MRM.
the place in coventry im presuming?

*EDIT*

Thats MRMLandrovers not MRMservices(based in coventry)

Tbf it is a common area to go and cant be noticed until the crossmember is removed for gearbox work....just had the same issue with mine after i thought i had tackled all the chassis

AW also overhauled and re-geared my transfer box.

Andy is a pleasure to deal with and a dying breed.
I'd recommend him to anyone.

Used Andy earlier this year - recon R380 box and disco transfer box

Thoroughly decent chap - incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable

Ginge I did some homework and posted a thread on here reference gearboxes. I got advice from various members and AW came up on a few folks. so I took the plunge spoke to Andy and was happy enough dealing with him on the phone. I was going to buy a transfer box of him as well. but he advised me not to quite yet. So yeah I,m happy enough to recommend.

As for MRM, he was based near Loughbrough and a few folk have had bad dealings with him. Recently he has changed trading names again (he has done this a few times I,ve since found out)to Heritage Landrovers LTD. I recognise his farm from the new arty shots. Quite a lot of bodges on ma 110 ive found over the past 10 months
