Had a mechanic from All 4X4 at Kotara have a look, couldn't help, so the vehicle has to go to All4X4 at Kotara to hook up to their diagnostics, I shudder at the final bill.:(:(

Car has been off the road for almost a month now. If it wasn't for my boss lending me a work car we would be in real strife as far as transport is concerned.:(

sorry i have to disgree we have been useing ALL4X4 for years & find there prices on par & sometimes cheaper than others,,if it wasnt for the guru & his staff i wouldnt have got my car finished..
But thats only my opinion..

I have found their first quote on items is usually high but a bit of negotiating usually gets the price down to being very competitive.

I have been using them since the late 70s when they were over at Broadmeadow and can usually negotiate a suitable price.

This problem is just not on beaches ....
As the High Country get's more popular there's lots more rubbish around.

Yeah, mate I know, that's why I tried to avoid them by going to the local mechanic that I have dealt with before. Unfortunately he does not have the diagnostic equipment to solve the ECU problems. Go to the Freelander Section and look at my thread on "Is My Automatic Transmission Stuffed" to see what is happening!!:(

Banjo, I certainly hope you are right, my Freelander has been off the road for a month now, and I am getting very frustrated with the whole situation.:)

Well hopefully it doesnt run up to big a bill for you, i dont think i have ever been on a run with AULRO guys where we had a freelander come with us so that would be good to see :)
