Hi, can you help us? We’re in France and our FL1 TD4 engine has quit on us. We’re looking for a reconditioned engine and installation - which doesn’t seem so easy to come by in these parts - we’re in Excideuil 24160. Any help or advice greatly appreciated!!

Sorry, the only person I could recommend is in the Tarn so a long way from you and I am not sure he deals with FLs.
Do you have a place over there or are you there on holiday?
I'll do a bit of searching in French for you and get back on if I find anything.
How are you with the Frog lingo?

Strangely not easy to search using Google Fr from the UK
but here is what I found

I don't have a list, but @Ian M in France is obviously one of them!

Come across quite a few Brits in Frogland, but not many Frenchies either here or in their own country, but have come across a few Belgians, Dutch etc etc.

Hi these people are not too far from you I have bought parts from them and seem okay they may be able to help, might be better to look for good second hand engine lots about in the UK but not so easy to get it out here now, what has gone on the old engine?

@chrisandnanacy this guy is 2 hours north of your location, he has done work for me including accepting delivery of a second hand disco g/box and fitting. He is a land rover nut so knows them inside out. When I went down to see him I found we had trialled in some of the same comps, but at different levels.

Our local garage also is good with land rovers, he has owned a RRC and currently has a disco 3, but he is another 2 hours north. Give me a pm if I can help further.

This is what I love about this Forum.
One post and a newby gets all the help he probably will need.

Wonder if we'll hear back?

Hi there, sorry to hear about the trouble you've got with your Landy.
Do you know what has happened to the engine?
Can you have it towed or transported?

Think he's spontaneously combusted.

Never mind, nothing like comboosting oneself

I do hope they got it sorted some way

Stanleysteamer · Apr 21, 2021

Didn't exactly answer any questions or anything did he?

Hi
I used to live in Thiviers,now in Riberac.
I can recomend a very good garage in Eyzerac,Garage Boudy.
Not sure about supplying a replacement engine though.
Good luck.
Marc.

Thx Frog Hopper - I think a little too far away but appreciate the help.
