My friends are on their way up the M1 in their series 2 to Harrogate to get
married.

It got a hundred or so miles, just short of their B&B for tonight before
running dry of clutch oil. It had just been topped up so obviously a
problem. Clutch fluid has been found and they will be able to press on
tomorrow hopefully.

I need to give them a number for somewhere to buy spares and/or effect
repairs near Harrogate/Naresborough or failing that anywhere not to much of
a detour on route from Matlock to there. Possibly both.

I shall google but if anyone has some recommendations please reply.

They had hoped to tour Scotland in the thing.

Cheers.

PS standby for a request for 4x4 hire

If they ever get here and get into difficulties north of Inverness then I'd
be happy to help (07941320318)

If they're staying the night near Matlock, Paddock are the obvious place
for spares - a couple of miles out of Matlock on the A615.

01629 760877 and get them to talk them in - they'll drive past a dozen
times otherwise.

Thanks all

I found Paddock spares (google) and am pleased ot have it confirmed it is
not an out of site, thanks also for the tip about it being difficult to
find. Invaluable.

I'll also pass on this place (so he can get it done properly ). Just as
well I lent him my socket set.

and thanks William but I don't think they'll be that close to you. Mostly
the west and islands.

BTW Series 3 not 2. Alternator and Clutch slave cylinder look to be on the
shopping list. Grim.

If they make it as far as Harrogate/Knaresborough and still need a hand,
let me know... I live in Knaresborough and between myself and our club
members we can rustle up spares, coffee and sympathy

There are a few independants in the area that can help out and the LR
main dealer isn't bad (for a franchise). They even have a speres
department that opens all day Sunday.

Maddison 4x4 are within reasonable distance of Harrogate (I use them for
the majority of my spares and for the odd occasion when I don't want to
do the work myself). http://www.maddison4x4.com/
