HOW much needs doing? I did ALL oils, plugs filters and cooling in about four hours using axle stands and a jack.

Need more options on the poll really but I voted specialist. I do stuff myself AND use a 4x4 specialist because a couple of the LR's I've had (P38 & D2) needed diagnostics and I haven't got the hardware. Plus I use them for breakdowns (e.g. Freelander clutch) too.

I know this int the Series section but I take mine to an enthusiastic amatuer indie, but I've had a lot of problems with him.
Unreliable, shoddy workmanship, sub standard cheapo parts.....he seems to think if hitting with a hammer doesn't fix it your not hitting it hard enough
I might have to stop doing it myself :doh:

Yes, this is the Freelander section, you don't hit it with a hammer, you discuss its feelings and it goes a lots better after that.
You're keen. Oil and oil filter in about 20 minutes - plus getting the sodding under tray back on!

Most garages and even 4x4 specialists don't understand the freelander as it falls in between a car and a roughty-toughty 4x4 with a desperate chassis and high/low range etc. you usually won't get a good service from either.
And I speak from best part of 20 years in the motor trade.....

I get mine sorted by Terrain Vehicle who know Freelanders well. I also use a local garage where the mechanic has the same model Freelander TD4 auto as me. I do a little myself as well. Depends what needs to be done, what the weather is like and how busy I am as I have a drive/parking space at the side of a fairly busy road.

And you still send your vehicle to him knowing this?
Maybe you should hit yourself on the head with his hammer

I do the basics myself, fluids filters plugs etc but I leave the more technical stuff to a garage... Mine goes in on Tuesday for trimming belt, tensioner, water pump and while he's under there gonna change gear box and ird fluids.
I'm supplying all parts/fluids...labour charge of £150 I thinks its a good deal
