Landy Mechanic needed in Southern Portugal
Hi - DJ (RoamingYak) is currently in Southern Portugal with a suspect clunky rear prop shaft and noisy gear changes.
Can anyone recommend a Land Rover garage near Nila Nova de Milfontes?
Cheers

Tell him he could simply take the rear propshaft off (2 x 9/16th spanners!) lock the centre diff and drive with just front wheel drive. Easy! Assuming it's just a worn universal joint.
Cheers,
Matt

Hey ho - finally dragged myself off the beach and should try and get this fixed before driving home.
It seems to have settled down a little. When I change gear, unless I do it softly, there is a clunking sound - much like a mates HilUx did when I drove it with a stuffed prop shaft. The gearbox and transfer box are brand new and full of oil.
Tried to see the Land Rover dealers down here but they were booked up for weeks and wouldnt see me when I just turned up.
So can somebody recommend a landy place in the Algarve? They will need to speak a little english. I keep seeing Land Rover Uniguia on wheel covers of other landies but google throws up nothing....
