Best Tasmanian Land Rover Tech

[Baytown]

Hi everyone.

To those in the know, could you please recommend the best people in Tasmania to service my 2013 Discovery 4, and 2012 Defender 110?

Im not sure if Justin is still operating in Tas.

I need to replace the Discoveries lower control arm bushes, so I appreciate your guidance.

Thanks folks.

If you’re anywhere near Hobart be hard to go past JC....

Im not sure if Justin is still operating in Tas.

Have you tried contacting him to find out?

Give him a call on 0408 995 635 (https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=justin+cooper+independent+land+rover+specialist&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#) during business hours? I think he starts early and usually aims to be out by 4pm if the day goes well so might not be wise to call to late in the day. Also not sure if he always has someone in the office so sometimes it might be a case of leaving a message if he can't answer because he's under a car or something.

It's like the Hatfields and the Mc Coys in Tassie, The Northerners stay north and the Southerners stay south. Been over a few times, spoke to locals and they don't like traveling to enemy territory [bigrolf]

It's Tassie, the difference between north and south is what ??, half an hour. [biggrin]

It's a bit longer than that, I've asked people in Burnie and surrounds and Launceston and surrounds if they have been to Hobart and they said never and have no intention of wanting to go. Go figure. Hobart is the Capital but the Launcestonites are jealous and think that should be the capital of Tassie.

It's a bit longer than that, Launie to Hobart.

When I was in Tassie around 5 years ago, I found the hwy between Hobart and Launie was quite a pleasant drive and its an easy 2 - 2 1/2 hr drive.

Will be a resident next year as I found a house in Ulverstone near the beach.

cheers

Grew up in Launceston and left 52 years ago, have worked back there recently and the NvS is still alive and well as it was in my days there.
