+1 for West 4x4
He has a loaner car, Ka I think if you need get around that day.
Hopefully I'll be able to pick a sunny day for my 10 year service in June and work from the car park - may have to see if he has any 3G service out there first though.

Rocketronnie I've used a few garages around Chichester. The only guy I can recommend for everyday stuff is Nigel at NP Autos in westbourne. He doesn't specialise in LR but is a good honest mechanic. As far as specialists are concerned there aren't any for D3's. Dont bother with Chi 4x4. If I need specialist advice I turn to Geoff (site sponsor) he has not let me down over the last couple of years and my car has never run better. Oil and filter change I do myself. Alternatively West 4x4 as others have mentioned 
where abouts in Chichester are you?

Thanks people.
I use to have a Freelander & used Paul Rutter, but not been too happy with them, Chi 4x4 seem to be ok with the Freelander before.
I've got a fault with the suspension (normal hight only) looks like the compressor or something. Should be able to get it fixed under "Warranty Direct"
johnnychainsaw I'm near St Richards Hospital.

Also Elliot Engineering near Washington on the A24. I used them for my 7 year service and wheel bearings and they seem pretty good (and a huge amount cheaper than the quote from Harwoods), and they have a few recommendations on this site.
