WD Thumbs Up

Hunters/Guava did the job, but to be honest, they were a bit of a shambles. Unfortunately James is moving on and I think he really held things together.

Well just got the car back from the LR garage. New alternator and rear wheel bearing fitted.

Total bill including VAT came to £1544. Is that normal? Seems a lot to me!

Anyway, car seems to be running well again, so just need to put some miles back on it to gain my trust back!

Heavy month for maintenance/repairs this month. £2.5k in repairs alone in December.

Im thinking of trying to find a different garage as the garage have put their prices up. No more forum discount, and £135 + VAT / hour now.

Anyone have any Surrey recommendations??

8 Year service completed yesterday. I moved the car out of the dealer network and it was a refreshing experience.

No nice coffee or plush show room, but spoke to the guys who worked on the car and had a good chat about things with them. Overall very happy with the experience and will continue now with the LR Indy route. Thumbs Up

took her back to Moore Automotive who are doing all my service work now. They don't do it on site, but sort it all out. Thumbs Up

Well, my D4 ticked over 100,000 last weekend.

It went in for its 9 year service on Tuesday, and the garage picked up a few issue.

Front lower arms are shot, and the rear prop shaft is knackered as well. I had mentioned to them i had just started to feel a shake through the car when getting the speed up, so hoping it was the prop shaft, and a new one will sort it.

Luckily for me, my WD policy has authorised the work. All genuine parts to be fitted.

The arms have already been replaced once at around 50K!
