Hi further to previous post, still haven't been able to suss out where the water is entering tge drivers footwell - suspect via the wiper (seems to have a tear in rubber at base of the wiper arm)

Anyway anyone know of a good indy up here? Ive used team valley in the past but prices are relatively high and service on a couple of ocassions was really poor plus noticed some surface scratches on the paintwork afterwards. Was thinking of using cheviot or northern4x4......

I used cheviot a couple of times when I had my D2, they were good in my opinion. There are more independents in Yorkshire than up your end.
Good luck anyway, sounds like a pain in the ass problem. Current: TDV8 (3.6) RRS HSE

I am talking to Bowburn 4x4 (0191 3778761)about some work I need doing and to be fair they sound like they know what they're doing.

As Stu said. Ive used Cheviot 4x4 (Tyne Tunnel trading est) a lot. Good lads who know what they are doing.

Left messages for both Northern and Cheviot - no reply from either May have to try Les Potts in Sunderland - managed to find them by accident and seem to invest heavily in training their guys to deal specifically with LR. Anyone had any experience of them good or bad??

Not used them, but am buying a caravan off them that they took in on a deal.

Seemed very very friendly and helpfull.

Stay well away from Northern 4x4 - you may end up with 2 vehicles, the front of one and the rear of the other They used to be Cragside (up Rothbury way and changed their name) and then bacame something else and then Northern 4x4.

Cheviot are a good bunch and looked after my Defender and RRS.

Call Ken or Dave on 0191 2574444 and they should be able to help. "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you.

Hi i went with Les Potts in then end. Left them a message on Sunday had a call 8.30am Monday - other 2 garages didnt bother replying anyway les picked car up from home (offered to leave his freelander keys) to use as courtesy car (didnt use). He's repaired various bits and tested water leaks on car - and will drop off today. All done in a day for just over a couple hundred quid so im very happy and will no doubt use going forward for anything to do with the FFRR
