I wonder if there is the basis of an idea here for LandyZone?
Whilst I do the general repairs myself I am not as adventurous as many on this forum. I am therefore always keen to know of the recommended Guys we go to (or Gals) when we need a special job done on our precious vehicle. I can't abide being ripped off and indeed am happy to pay good money for a quality job done.
My 2001 TD5 90 is in great nick, only 64K miles. But she has stood a fair bit in a previous life so the chassis is not great, and certainly the rear cross member could do with replacing. This is too big a job for me, and I have no garage space unfortunately (full of stuff!). I am looking for someone recommended who will not laugh when I try and get a quote. Someone trustworthy who if they phone and say - "I recommend doing the shocks and springs while I am at it" - you believe and say 'OK" (as long a price is reasonable).
I live near Godalming in Surrey. The localish main specialists price for the Surrey set in my opinion or just aren't interested in the work. I would be happy to travel and leave the car with someone for a few weeks, maybe even for a galv chassis. I am in no rush for this as maybe a bit of patching will do for a while but interested in replies to the thread and idea. To be honest - if there was someone that trustworthy and recommended, I would drive a couple of hours and leave the car there for weeks as I am lucky enough that it is not my daily drive.
thoughts? do we start a separate 'checkalandy' type thread?
with regards....
