I will private message anyone who wants details so I dont get accused of trying to advertise a business through the forum.I just think that he is so reasonable its worth keeping him busy.The business is a valeting business but run by a mechanic who has years of experience working on them,being a...

Ok I have been to pick up the freelander today.I left it with him on Saturday and he was still sourcing some parts yesterday.He has done the following replaced head gasket (upgraded multi layer) replaced one of the manifold gaskets replaced timing belt new main hose conversion with thermostat...
