I have not found any comments on Hunters Norwich or King's Lynn.
Norwich came £900 short of the price I had quoted for an XS auto on the internet and so placed my order with New car discount.com.
I now wonder about where to go for servicing, so I am interested in any feedback. Discovery 3 XS Auto, Stornaway, Active rear diff.

My only experience has been with Hunters in Kings Lynn when my 90 threw the auxiliary drive belt 2 years ago:
http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/post7139.html#7139
Great service from the parts department - they could not have been more helpful.
However it is often the case that departments in the same dealership differ greatly as to the experience - as the sales/service/parts are often run very separately from each other and have different staff 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

Hunters in Guildford get a for the parts department but for the Sales and Service depts.
Sales we're useless when I first tried them over two years ago and proved to be no better when I gave them a chance again recently. I won't bother trying the Service dept. there again
Hopefully the Norwich one is better The End

Regarding Hunters in Guildford. I also found sales to be useless 2 years (and subsequently bought mine from Royal Ascot who were abysmal) however the service dept were not too bad although pricey. BUT I have now foung Guava in Godalming for service and my experience there for my 2nd service a couple of weeks ago was brilliant. They are not a sales dealer (only for export) but are a fully authorised Land Rover service and parts centre. They have all the latest updates and bulletins etc (often before other dealers) and despite my cautious approach I found them to be most helpful as well as a more realistic price. They even have time to talk to you and discuss all your little issues (on the car I mean). I was very impressed Thats a lot coming from me. I hope anyone else using them is a pleased as me. They even manged to improve the fuel consumption.

I can echo the good vibes about Guava, I have only had sidesteps fitted, I think they were reasonable on labour, even loaned me car (it was an MG, so I didnt drive it further than back to my house!).
Mine is going in there for a service there when the car is due in August - will feed back my experience then.
The parts are good but Nick in Yeovil is better on prices 2016 D4 Landmark
