Freelander 1 Looking for a Freelander mechanic in Bradford area

websun · Oct 23, 2018

Hi everyone,
Got a problematic 1.8 Freelander 1 (I know) which had head gasket done and new clutch.
Now I have a massive oil leak which appears to be from the crankshaft seal, if that is it I suspect gearbox needs removing again.

Can somebody recommend me a mechanic or garage around Bradford area please? All two mechanics I know told me to scrap it as they won't touch that "piece of junk" but I'm too deep for that unfortunately. I guess it requires extra patience.

Thanks,
Paul

They're not mechanics then, they are fitters.

I don't know anyone up there though. Someone will be along that knows somewhere decent.

i've been taking mine to Farnells for any work i can't do at home
they're very good .. but also quite expensive ..

once asked them about fitting after-market shocks ..
reply was that they wouldn't .. but they referred me to Simmonites ..
as Farnells evidently passes on work to them if needed
( i've no idea about Simmonites hourly labour charges )
