| Any mechanics on here able to replace my oil pump? |
|
South Wales area but prepared to travel somewhat.
I have confirmed that I have the older style oil pump but local garages near me don't want to know. I've tried 3 now and none of them want to touch it....I kind of wasn't expecting it but assume it's a  job and everyone's busy.
If there's any competent mechanics by trade willing to help then please let me know....would really appreciate it.
Mike

@Bracechenko
Have you asked CDS if he'll travel to you? .

Corsham Tyres in .... Corsham, Wiltshire. They have looked after my all my Discoveries, which is why they were so stupidly reliable and really know their way around them. They are currently looking after my daughter's 2008 D3. I highly recommend them. 
They also provide courtesy cars.
Other than that, Clive (CDS) is brilliant. New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)
Sold Volvo XC90 R-Design (known as Basil)
Sold - D4 HSE (Known as Gerty)
No longer the Old Buses original owner
231,000 miles and counting
05 S manual owned from March 2005
D4 Face lifted
Still original injectors and turbo
V8 Front brakes
BAS Remap, Allisport Intercooler and deCat
EGRs blanked
T-Max split charge
Hanibal Expeedition rack
Prospeed ladder
Duratrac tyres
IID BT
BAS FBH control

Alltrack 4x4, but be prepared to wait. They are busy for a good reason. Just outside Malvern, so depending where in South Wales you are might be close?
Regards,
Steve

Thanks all for the suggestions. Managed to find another LR specialist who's going to call be on Monday but wasn't a straight "no".
So, in hopeful but if that fails I'll check out your recommendations thank you
