I am based in Cambridge amd my 105k service is due in the New Year. Does anyone know of a reputable garage in Cambridgeshire/Suffolk that can change both belts and pump at a reasonable price?

We are in South Cambs and Louise always used Mansfield 4x4 in Bury St Edmunds. Bit of a trek, but the guys there are good and will talk you through/show you on the ramps what they are doing.
There is also one in Bedford (is it Rogers?) that was reccomended to us but I have no experience with them.
We've had good service from Marshall's but from speaking with friends, it can be a bit hit and miss. 08 Plate Disco 3 HSE TDV6 Auto

I had mine done last year at Taylors in Great Dunmow, maybe a bit too far for you, had no problems, second lowest quote and no 'extras' required.

If you are venturing as far as Dunmow you could try Broadfields Garage how did me a great price. These guys are ex-Landrover with many years experiance and use genuine parts. |____000_

Thanks, I've have used Mansfield 4X4 before for brake pads but not servicing. Will give them a call re. 105k prices.

I'll let you know when I have the info.
Mark Empson (son of Bob) really knows his LR's and is a very nice guy as well - always happy to discuss options / alternatives etc.

That's a good price. I'm about 2 months away from reaching 105K. Anyone use Fenland 4x4?

You need to add VAT to that quote of £490 from Fenland 4 X 4- See small print at bottom of page.
Still a good price though, sub £600.
Never used them so would like to here from anyone who has as mine D3 due a 105k service asap.
