Hi JMC if you mean T&C then no, the salesmens attitude on previous visits blew that sale??
Wow! The sales aspect of T&C is the best part....... It's all downhill from there you know

who are you getting serviced by
I'm off to the Lake District to see our friends at LakeLand LR (Site Sponsor). Service is great but the salesmen are woefull..... They seem to spend all their time on a bloody forum.......
In-between services and general bits/pieces are done by Greenbank 4x4 or Mann Automotive in Laurencekirk. Both firms are independent but work closely as they are ALL ex T&C mechanics. In fact, I'll be surprised if T&C have any mechanics left who know how to work on a LR without plugging in a PC and reading instructions.

Buying off of Frank Ogg,so they will get the first service and i will see how they get on.
My friends use Greenbank and Mann for their vehicles too.
What happened to Nor Track is it still open or now closed?? Its not the height of the fall but the sudden stop at the bottom that hurts!!
A few of us from here (myself, jkp, randalls and specialist1) did it about 18 months ago:

Congrats Rescue01
Don't forget that accessories fitted at the time of purchase are covered by the same 3 year warranty as the vehicle so it could be worth getting them fitted then. Depends on what discount they give you off them (will they match Nicks 20% ?) and what they charge to fit them. Most can be fitted yourself of with a little help from the Disco3 community The End

The cost to fit the a-bar/spots, RAI and protector were very good considering all the local prices.

All sorts of rumours flying around t'internet about Nortrak.
It seems the chap who owned it had to apply for retrospective planning permission which appears to have been blocked by the greenies and protect the coutryside mob.
All the banners and access to the site has gone, with the chap (steve) nowhere to be seen.

Now its the countryside welly lickers that moan about their coutryside

The rack is easy enough but not a 1 person job unless you can lower it into place with a pulley.
at 5'6" I manage to fit and remove the expo rack on my own
Although there is a bit of a knack to it.
I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
