Glencoyne Engineering
Is anyone familiar with Glencoyne Engineering in Banham, Norfolk?

I'm looking to get an inspection/maintenance done and am wondering if the basic service is worth it?

Service includes:
change engine oil and filter, check and top up other fluid levels, remove roadwheels, inspect brakes, clean and adjust where required, check steering and suspension components, grease propshaft joints, check vehicle structure for corrosion, check all electrics, check/adjust ignition and carburettor settings (petrol engines), check/adjust drive belts

Cost of £129.

Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure that he's the guy who has a feature page every month in Land Rover Monthly about his garage and old landies so I guess he should be ok!? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.

I just paged through the April 2017 issue and couldn't find him... Could have missed it though?

I did end up getting servicing/inspection done at Glencoyne. Richard definitely knows Land Rovers and did a great job. Highly recommended.

Good recommendation. I've just priced up doing an interim service myself and couldn't buy genuine filters and oil for that! Does he do Puma's? James

James,

I'm not sure if he does Pumas. I recommend shooting him an email to ask:

richard@glencoyne.co.uk

Cheers,
T.J.
