Thank you all for your comments on my previous post. Those who've read it will know that I am out of the UK at the moment and away in Corfu for the Summer. There isn't a single Land Rover main dealer or specialist on the island, my 2004 Range Rover TD6 is now 1200 miles overdue on an inspection 2 and this is what I'd like your advice on.
When I flew to England 2 weeks ago, I brought back with me all the important parts required to carry out the Inspection 2. I found what is rumoured to be a good mechanic on the island to carry out the service but now I'm getting cold feet and my dilemma is this..... I have only seen one Range Rover here (on Austrian plates) which makes me think that this mechanic cannot be that familiar with the vehicle, and as a result I'm worried he could do more harm than good.
The car is running perfectly, the oil still looks clean it hasn't used a drop since it's last service 15K ago. And the temperatures here are high, 30+ degrees C (don't know if that's a good or bad thing?)
So.... My dilemma is this, and one that hopefully you can help me with.
Do I get the Greek mechanic to carry out the service and hope he fits everything correctly, or do I run the car here for the next 8 weeks and drive back home (this will take me approximately 5K past the inspection 2 recommendation).
Your thoughts on running past the service interval taking in to account the above would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Dave
