have to say, I live about 10 miles away from you, and finding a independent landrover mech has not been a problem...most small garages and independent mechanics work on Land rover about here, as for a good one, I tend to go with word of mouth, found a really good guy, in that he is reasonable and takes the time to do a good job, in my local village, but you could take a chance on the local paper. It really depends upon what your expectations are, seems some less enlightend types think that a whole days work is worth £20......and complain when the bill comes in at £150, it happens, especially when the main steeler charge nearly that for the hour.
