    Looking for a new mechanic.

    My '95 gassed defender's first service in Brisbane is coming up in a couple of thousand clicks, and I want to find a mechanic who knows their way around a gassed diesel. It's not D-gas, as it is injected just after the turbo. If I can find a mechanic who does this and is great with all other areas of a Land Rover, I'll be a happy chappy. I'm looking for someone who I can keep going back to.

    Any recommendations?

    I send most people direct to MR automotive, do not pass redcliffe, do not waste money elsewhere.

    I've booked the car in for a service at the end of the month with MR, but they said they don't do gas work, so I'd like some recommendations for a good gas mechanic near the western suburbs if possible. Gas is one thing I'm not really confident working on myself.

    I've just had a problem arise where I can't fill the LPG tank. I've had a bit of a look around the filler and hoses, and nothing looks out of the ordinary to me, though I wouldn't even know what ordinary looks like. I want this fixed pretty quickly, and if possible, I don't want the car out of action for more than a day or a few hours. I reckon it's probably a pretty easy fix, because the problem came on gradually, which tells me that something might have worked its way loose, or something just needs a bit of tinkering with.

    I don't think you need anyone special for that job, probably any good LPG-certified mechanic.

    Do you know which brand of LPG fumigation system you have installed?

    The lpg mechanic I used to use a few years ago was Greg at Mototech at Pickering St Enoggera. Not sure if he still owns the business, but he is very good.

    Not sure Ron. I'll have to see if I can figure it out.

    Tim, when we bought the 101 we got a mob down Springwood way (recommended by our mechanic) to re-certify and check the Gas system, though ours is petrol If you want I can find the phone number to you, it may be worth a shot
