Yep, I'm with the DIY'ers, its part of the owning experience and at least you know the jobs been done properly or if not you only have yourself to blame. No disrespect to the dealers but despite all the fancy PR and nice carpet, they are only as good as the mechanics they have. Can anyone recommend a good service manual that covers the 4.0 ltr Rover V8 engine ?
I have to say I'm a great fan of Kevin Vernon of Tudor Motors who knows his way round the marque. I'm happy he carries out the service knowing all the necessary nuts bolts to be tightened in preparation for the annual MOT. Leaving his place in Market Drayton, the +4 always goes like s**t off a shovel!
