havent got much choice but to trust the fact that they are doing what they say they are- have to use that garage-only one near me and only one near enough for me to walk to work when its out of action

Thing is it aint just ya engine and gearbox that needs checking., Its ya axles, transfer box ans swivel joints aswell. If they haven't been checked for years they could be bone dry! If i were you i'd stick a post up on here asking for some friedly feller near by to come and gi it a good going over.
A damsel in distress should get plenty of offers
Edit- soz 'bout the spelling, i've had a few too many whiskey's.

dont like to put on people- everyone has busy enough lives with work and families and their own vehicles.
Dont mind paying for work done at a garage- so long as they dont rip me off and do what needs doing to keep me going.
Got to trust them and hope theyre honourable and not taking the ****- havent any evidence that they are so... fingers crossed

I work on the principle of distrust every garage, i've known plenty of mechanics in plenty of garages round 'ere and wouldn't trust one of em to do a proper service and thats including main dealers.
Might be worth ya while getting a haynes manual and giving it a read through, ya 'll learn a lot about ya landy and realise how easy it is to do most things on it. Every things pretty much shown in a step by step guide. If ya learn to do it yaself then not only will ya save money but ya'll also know for definate that everythings been done

there's a lot to be said for knowing your limitations- and i fear that servicing a car may be beyond mine- but could look at the manual to see if its a lost cause or if theres a glimmer of hope
get yourself a nice community job - its a great craic -having said that you probably earn more in forensics

A basic service on a landy is really easy cos theres lots of room in the engine bay and you can crawl under when you need to change the oil.
Ive just ordered a service kit. it takes 2 mins to change the air filter, just open the clips on the housing, chuck old one in bin, new one on, fasten clips...it takes longer to type it than do it!!

I probably do..
will check in the library to see if theyve a manual - dont fancy buying one if it ends up being a waste of time..
many thanks for advice- will try to be a bit more adventurous and break out of the stereotypes. If i get confident in looking after the vehicle maybe will consider playing in it and try laning

Is that a fact? Or a question?
