Folks,

I have a serious problem with my auto gear box and therefore looking to find a really good non dealer repair shop.

It is out of warranty and appears quite major (will select D but no drive whatsoever . ouch!).

I need to find a garage or someone with a good LR knowledge (preferably ex-LR) who comes highly recommended at a reasonable cost.

Would be best around M25, but could be as far north as Nottingham at a push (although I have to flat-bed it there, so M25 best).

Can anyone help me out?

Cheers

Hi,maybe a long shot and dont want to seem insulting,but have you checked your automatic transmision fluid level it may be a little low.

Whitehippo, no suggestion is ever stupid if if fixes the problem, especially if it a cheap fix.

Unfortunately I'm away on business right now and Mrs Tornado34 isn't uuurrmmmn...knowing even where to put diesel in so not much point asking her :doh:

Would a low transmission fluid level cause this? so much so that there is no drive at all? If this is the problem, is all usually ok when it's topped up or might it have destroyed something as a result?

Can you hear the panic in my questions (£££££'s )

Is there an easy way to check and top up the transmission fluid? Is it a 'side of the road' thing or is it much more complex than that? Should say it's a Freelander 2.
Anyone?

hmmn, not sure about the freelander 2.

whereabouts on the m25 (roughly)

i always use dakar 4x 4 in swanley / dartford for my freelander 1, really good service, and really know their onions.

check this link. Goodyer 4x4 not far from the M25 on the west side. Not particularly cheap but then would you expect them to be? Always had good results on several hippos. Not sure of Freelander 2 but worth a call. i even got a free courtesy car!
