Hunters Guildford - big negative
Well having had a good result from them a month or so ago, these people have turned out to be useless.

In for the first year service, my 2013 110 USW also has a leaking swivel seal and a shot bearing somewhere in the rear drivetrain that produces a rumble at 45 mph upwards.

Two well known Indy workshops on here have agreed with me the two problems but they obviously can't do warranty work.

Hunters are happy to take £436 for the service (basically oil & filter change) but say there's no problem with the seal (drooling oil and visibly perished) and the bearing noise "is within limits".

Anyone know of a more co-operative place in SW Surrey.

Someone mentioned Harwoods in Pullborough, although no more info. Anywhere else youve had experience of?

You could try Conrico in Chertsey, they are a full LR workshop and therefore do LR warranty work.

or Guava, who are a Sponsor over on D3 and you get 10% off if you mention this.

I tried to use Guava for the turbo hose recall a couple of months ago and they said they'd collect.

They never did!

I suppose they might be worth another go, but again, does anyone have experience of them? 2003 Td5 110 Hardtop

I have used Conrico to service my old Discovery3 and do Warranty work.

Found them to be okay Thumbs Up

Will get my D4 serviced there also when it's due it's first service.

I have always had outstanding service from Harwoods Tonbridge so can heartily recommend them.

Run out of sponsorship money this year - will be back as they say - In the mean time as always mention the forum - 15% parts and labour discount will happily be given.

Hunters over here in Norridge appear to be complete t#ssers.... so it might be a :Hunters: corporate thing?
