Having moved to the area, it's time to sort my landy. I need a new alternator and do not want to get ripped off. I have looked on the forum and the two garages I have found locally have been slated on here. Please can you recommend anyone or a garage please? Thanks in advance.

I recommend you do the job yourself. Don't throw your money away on something you can do.

If the vehicle is taxed and tested and adequately insured, why does the landlord want you to move it ?
Because it looks different !!!!
Is the parking space part of the rental agreement. I'd be inclined to ignore him.

It's removing 2 bolts and slackening 2 others.
Not sure that counts as 'working on a Landy'

The job will take an hour, at the most. Sometimes the bottom bolts are tricky for fumbly fingers like mine.

Most tenancy agreements state vehicles must be t&t'd which it might not be.
Otherwise the landlord can swivel

Take it down to your nearest supermarket car park and fix her in the corner. I'd be tempted to do it in your rented car space, but sometimes it's just better to keep the landlord sweet.
I definitely wounldn't be paying for an alternator to be fitted, it's a quick and simple job!

Ahh,but was he buying the items to convert it,from B&Q.As above if you want to keep the landlord happy. I know someone that converted a van into a campervan in a B&Q car park, took a week and nobody noticed

Well as it happens, they made numerous visits into B&Q for bits as and when needed. Pretty good plan I thought, no wasted fuel or buying too much of anything. Was a 'she' not a 'he'
