Recommendation recon/replace auto box Midlands area

Hi. Wondered if anyone has any recommendation as to where to get reconditioned auto gearbox for a discovery 3 sourced and replaced in Midlands area. Have seen Bristol gets a good recommendation but looking more local if possible. Anyone had any experiences or recommend somewhere please ? Thanks

When I had my D3 'box done some years ago, I travelled to the place in Bristol from my then home in Berkshire, based on recommendations here. I wasn't disappointed. Darren

I believe these are pretty good at all things Land Rover. Ive taken my old FL1 to them in the distant past

Thanks LRD4GAB.

Spoke with Tim after your recommendation. They don’t recondition or use reconditioned box but get brand new ones from factory when available. Took a while until factory had some available but once Tim had received the box replacement was done over a day and courtesy vehicle provided. Brilliant service and was £3800 including the VAT. The old bus is back to life and hopefully another 180k miles. For anyone else great recommendation Thanks 👌
