Recommendation for a Mechanic/Fixer in N Wilts
Hi Chaps

I need a recommendation for a mechanic/fixer in the N Wilts/S Glos area - Malmesbury/Chippenham

I have a Td5 90 that needs some work - this being:

Service (it's done around 45k miles)

One (or both) sets of rear side facing seats removed and Puma forward facing
folding seats installed - to include inertia reel seat belts fitted. (I have
the Puma seats & brackets but not the seat belts yet)

Help with driver's door seal - I fitted a new one but it's not sealing very
well :>(

Check on the steering

Advice on heated seats (driver's side in particular is rubbish)

Please let me know if you know of anyone who can do this sort of work and who comes highly recommended!

Thanks Thumbs Up

There is a chap called Les Henson who will do mobile work - he does a lot of LR stuff and is a really nice chap. He has done most of the Tech archives on LR4x4. I'll try and get his phone number if you're interested? My blog - www.anacreinhampshire.blogspot.co.uk

When I lived in wiltshire, i used to use Rory McMath at the Pike Associates (www.rory.uk.com) based in Semington (Between Devizes / Trowbridge), good honest straightforward guy who knows land rovers. no outragous labour rate.

I've heard good things about Pike.



For an excellent mechanic and LR buff (OK, it's not in wilts) is Bryn Hemming in Tewkesbury. all manner of work done and fabrication done. Bryn hemming home page
