Everyone to whom I have spoken is delighted, but they are busy, so may not be able to see you at very short notice.

The ARBs are a very easy DIY job, even for those with more thumbs than fingers. The key is to cover in penetrating oil a few times before the job and making sure your ratchet and 6 point socket fits in the relatively small space for the rears.
I appreciate that the rest of your work is more challenging and the weather is not fun either, but sometime these jobs are satisfying.

I use http://www.r-elandrover.co.uk/ based in Salisbury - always been good and helpful to me - even when the water pump had sheared off, I dumped the D3 outside their garage - fixed the following day.
Big thumbs up from me.Si

Challenger 4x4 at Tongham nr Aldershot are good, can get busy though.
What's the problem with West 4x4 & Keith Gott - they are both good.
Is it that you have left it too late & they are booked up?

+1 for West 4x4 but you won't get in there now if you're going away in 2 weeks. He's usually booking a month in advance.
I've found that Brooklyn 4x4 in Nursling have been able to fit me in at short notice, previously. Give them a try:
They're five minutes off J3 of the M27. That's the M271 junction.
No affiliation other than they used to service my D1 many years ago before they left Chandler's Ford and moved to Nursling. As with most places these days, they built a load of new "houses" on their old site...

Think West 4x4 may struggle with timescale as there are only two of them.
