Scotland 2010 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 GS Auto Bali BlueDiscovery 4
Repair mechanic required

So I’ve got my D4 sitting in the garden with an EGR exhaust problem?
I’ve had two quotes off local garages and both are pretty steep.
I don’t want to scrap the vehicle so I think I’ve two options:
One: sell it as it is (and I may do that): 147k, 2009, mot Jan 25, Bali blue + +
Two: get it fixed elsewhere? I am willing to stick it on a flatbed & ship it wherever in the UK & get it fixed.
So I’m looking for recommendations for specialist garages - closer to home may be cheaper - Scotland or north England but really I’m looking for someone who can DO THIS.
Many thanks,
John

If I can get to disco mickey from the Midlands you can get there from the highlands. Im certain he will sort it.
Another thought PM NC500 he lives in the highlands and may know of any local guys to recommend.
