Land Rover servicing in the UK
Hi Guys
We are Australians who have just completed a 10 month overland trip from Cape Town to Europe in our 2009 Puma Defender "Tin Can" and will arrive in the UK in the next week or so. Although we had no real trouble at all, our Land Rover needs a really thorough service after possibly dubious servicing in Botswana and Kenya. It's air-conditioning system also gave up somewhere west of Kampala and was not helped by a dodgy repair shop in Nairobi. We intend storing the vehicle in England over the winter whilst returning to OZ then coming back next year to use it around Europe.
The question is hopefully simple: Where in south east England (preferably somewhere near London) can it be suggested I take it for a service to a Land Rover servicing shop who understands the rigours of overland travel and who can be relied on not to rip us off? If experience in OZ is anything to go by, official dealers are often not the best bet?
