105K service in Warrington area?
Hi, can anyone recommend someone to do a 105K (all the tricky belts) service please. I live near Warrington (between Manchester and Liverpool) and have just bought a Disco 3 - 2007 base model.
I am also trying to locate someone who sells and activates the cruise control switch. Any help much appreciated.
ps - it has done 34K but I am told the belts need doing after 7 years - is that correct?
Thanks in advance

+1 for Flack top bloke.
Have a look in the for sale section or post a wanted post. See a few from time to time. Flack can enable as well
Welcome along by the way.

Expression of interest usually expressed as "1st dibs" then followed by a PM. This way everyone knows what's going on

Think it was around Grizedale. But I was just following some others. Probably not to be tackled on your own as a good spotter is in order. Was a good day though. You usually get a few members heading to the hills every now and then who are only too willing to let you tag along.

contact TLO ....
The stereo and 'phone' switch is £26 from TLO... ordered from him today
He works for LR in Yeovil and we all get special discounts as forum members....
He also does group buys on here ...... All parts he sends out are new from LR ....
The cruise control (controls) are alot more (weirdly).... non voice control £46 and with voice £76...... been in contact with TLO...... even he thinks its daft as the stereo buttons do more and appear more involved and expensive .....
Also looking for cruise control buttons and upgrade .....
Hope we both get them soon.......D4 Front upgrade/cut back wings n things 'taking a long time but getting there'.
D4 rear upgrade - Narpys helped with that bit
Flack for problem solving and D4 Bluetooth Install/ D4 Heated Steering wheel with Flappy paddles n BBS enabling kit
Disco Mikeys work - Serviced, EGR blanking and 4x4 software upgrade, 3 flash indicators.
B.A.S - FBHIC. Uncle Rays spare wheel protector. Beanie Silver Black badges.

thanks - boy this is a busy (good!) site... I think I may have bought a set from a forum member but not sure if he has seen my pm yet - I have a 2007 base model D3 (as of yesterday) and I am hoping that I can simply fit the switches and get the stereo and CC to work (with activation maybe?). If not I shall get in touch with TLO - I guess I just search for "TLO"?
Again - thankyou for your help.
