Any recommended places to get timming belts done.
Gear box flush and oil change.
Is it worth getting oil pump changed too.
Thanks

Could try Astora in Alnwick. Not sure how far North you are. But they are very good James favourite hobby is writing in the third person.

Probably a good hours drive but they are decent and know their stuff for sure. Put their prices up quite a bit a couple of years back but still far cheaper than a main dealer. Well worth getting a quote from them perhaps. James favourite hobby is writing in the third person.

Although I rate TVLR very highly I don't think they have a gearbox flushing machine, I do know Vicky at Mastora does though Cheers Ian

Mastora in Alnwick were very helpful when I tested the ‘Land Rover + = predicatable slide into ditch’, which wife and kids are at pains to remind me of.
They didn’t do a great deal, other than put it on their ramp and check for damage, but they knew their stuff and wouldn’t take any money. They sounded very knowledgable when they were talking to other Landy owners in the shop whilst I waited. 2014 - D4 2010 HSE Nara Bronze

Durham 4x4 do flushes, though mine went to JAS in York for a flush/remap/service
It's going back there (JAS) in Feb for a service and T/C

TVLR are very good, although with prices very close to dealers. Also they don't have a flushing machine so no gearbox flush.
Durham 4x4 have a flushing machine and get good reports, however my own experience with them wasn't brilliant (supposed to call me back to rearrange after their flushing machine went on the blink while mine was being done, they never did)
I eventually got my gearbox flush done at JAS in York. The flush itself was fine and they're nice people. However, be aware that they're not on a bus route or near anything else so you either wait (we took the dogs for a walk) or try and organise a courtesy car.
