			TD5 Defender - Mechanic In Melbourne
		
 
			
				
					Hi, 
 
 I am new to the forum having recently purchased a 2003 Defender 90.
 
 Its a great little truck and am enjoying it immensely.
 
 Aside from perhaps MLR/ ULR, I was wondering if there are any other specialist Landrover mechanics in the Melbourne area that people would recommend?

 Many other options depending on where you live but Fred is a guru.
 
 Eg Ritter Automotive in Burwood.

					I agree on Fred,  I've tried many of the other workshops locally,  most of them were cheaper in the short term ,but ended up costing me lots more over the long term.   Fred does it right, he does take his time, but at least you can rest assured it will be fixed.

					I use Fred as well, both for Td5 and 300 Tdi, you might have to wait for an opennig in his calendar.  He appears to be booked out about a month or more in advance.

					Thanks guys. 
 
 3 recommendations is pretty compelling.
 
 I am located in Sth Melb, but Bayswater is no problem.
 
 Appreciate the insight, will book with Fred.
