    Modern Motors at Dungog.

    I've never used them, but they were a Land Rover dealer for 55years back in the glory days.


    I haven't heard anything bad about them and apparently they still have deep bronze green blood...

    Hi All,

    They have a good reputation locally and have worked on my disco and the wifes freelander tdi. From memory they charge at about $70 bucks per hour and have been quite efficient and helpful in the past. Replaced a head on my tdi disco for about $3200 which seemed a good price at the time!
