I have tackled all jobs on my disco from air suspension to all suspension arms to fitting FBH controller, all on my drive and have never been beaten until today that is, a new rear prop was all lined up to be fitted, front bolts easy, centrebearing bolts easy but could I shift the rear bolts could I so I called the garage who have mot’d my cars for years and he said pop it down and I’ll free the nuts for you in my lunch.
They were so tight he needed long bars and it still was a complete but he did it then said “might as well put the new on on whilst it’s on the ramp” and did just that no charge just the usual banter.
Absolute top bloke I can highly recommend him and his family run garage if your in Leicestershire give DJS automotive in earl Shilton a ring they are and always have been totaly straight.
Recommendations are needed from the whisky drinkers as that’s his favourite tipple and As he wouldn’t take a penny from me a good bottle will be my way of saying thank you, I don’t drink whisky so any help selecting a good one will be greatly appreciatedRange Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8 what a car
