Thx Ian M , I’ve got a quote for a recon engine from the uk from the Freelander specialists and need someone who’s willing/can fit it. Land Rover France won’t help due to age of vehicle.

I would look for a smallish local garage, a Freelander 1 engine change should not be a problem for most Mechanics ask around to find a good one, hope you get it sorted

Hi SS, ok with the lingo and sourced a recon engine from uk - fitting is a big issue here as very few specialists...Sorry, the only person I could recommend is in the Tarn so a long way from you and I am not sure he deals with FLs.
Do you have a place over there or are you there on holiday?
I'll do a bit of searching in French for you and get back on if I find anything.
How are you with the Frog lingo?

I agree with @Ian M in France, you should be able to find a non-specialist willing to do it, at the end of the day, an engine swap is an engine swap. Of all things LR this isn't the toughest. Just hope that you don't have too many problems with the electronics.
But never fear, we are here to help!

...........Hi there, sorry to hear about the trouble you've got with your Landy.
Do you know what has happened to the engine?
Can you have it towed or transported?

I know getting a recovery company to travel any distance is a lot of dosh. We had to use one, and they were cheaper than most as they had just started and were trying to get business.
Wondering if it is possible to hire a trailer and get someone with a 4x4 to tow it for you?
What about a plant hire company? They might quote you, as they are forever moving plant about.

Miggt be worth trying Shipley.com. i bet a couple of Poles would be down in a day, pick it up and probably walk it there for £100.
