Am looking at getting some td5 clutch pipework made up.
Does anyone who has experience of Pritek believe this is within their capability ?

It's within their capability albeit I've found them less than helpfully as they have bigger fish to fry Whistle

After having dealing with pirtek in my last job, I'd find a local independent hydraulics company. I wouldn't tar all the pirtek guys with the same brush, but a good one is hard to find!!!

I use the local hydraulics guys, they're normally more helpful than Pirtek and the last time I needed hoses made up I got it done when they were fixing the digger and rolled it up in the bill Whistle 2014 110 2.2TDCi XS Station wagon

Pirtek are a franchised operation and a lot depends on the fitter you get. They're well kitted out and carry a lot of stock but are more keen on knocking out repairs on plant and equipment than working on a Defender.

Use an independent hydraulics company they will do the job for Bout a third of what Pirtek will charge. I think the only way that Pirtek survive is because they offer a National service but boy do you pay for it!
