Hello, I am looking for a mechanic in the west kent or sussex area who can do some work on my 03 disco.. There is quite a bit of work, loose manifold with possible sheared bolts, too much play on steering ball joint, diesel leak on valve behind cylinder head, significant oil leak from steering box and it also needs a new fuel filter. My knowledge of these vehicles does not extend beyond changing the spare wheel so I need a mechanic to do it all so it passes its mot. If anyone can recommend someone for the work?
I think yu will find Basingstoke isnt in Kent - or Sussex

Bolt drilled successfully.. was a whole lot easier than I expected. It was not totally straight given the space, so I drilled for a nut and bolt instead of trying to clear the existing sheared bolt. Blanking plate fits like a glove.
Many thanks for the advice on this thread folks and too MHM for his kind offer of help. Incidentally I am able to drop back your spanner this weekend if this is convenient?
Something good came of this whole episode, with the car effectively off road having been forced to drain the coolant, I was able to do other tasks such as clean the intercooler. Also decided too remove the inlet manifold in order to give it a good clean out of all the black tar. To my surprise I found that every single bolt/nut was loose, not even finger tight! Looking at past owners receipts there no is no mention of intake manifold ever having been removed before, so I suspect they have gradually worked loose over time. No thread lock was evident on the threads. I plan on adding some when I put it back on.
