    Seeking Brisbane Mechanic

    I am proud owner of 2002 Disco TD5. Owned it only 9 months, fantastic, no problems, until now........

    Just had 80k service, and 2 days later, the ABS, Traction & HD lights all on concurrently. I am affraid to take it to LR. I have tried a few tips off this site, but to no evail. Can anyone provide me with the contact details of a good and an honest Brisbane based mechanic (not just for this problem, but for on-going servicing etc)?

    Can anyone also provide me with contact details of a Brisbane based Land Rover 4WD club.

    I'm based in the western suburbs of Brisbane and for servicing we use MR Automotive at Redcliffe, yes they are out of Brisbane but have found them to be the most reliable over the years, contact number is 3284 6688

    For Land Rover based clubs, the most active through this forum is the Gold Coast Land Rover Club, there is also the Land Rover Club who meet at Moorooka. Originally I was in the Brisbane Range Rover club but found the Gold Coast club does more of the trips that I enjoy.

    I'll vouch for MR Automotive at Redcliffe as well. I took our Discovery there for a 120,000 service expecting big $ but they only did what was necessary and advised me on a couple of issues to watch.

    It still cost me a bit of dough but I did not feel ripped off at all. A new key cost me $295 programmed but this seems on par with non-dealers.

    MR out at Redcliffe maybe one of the best in Country An Express bus from middle of city with a stop one block from MR takes away some of the distance hassle ...when she who demands to be obeyed refuses to drop/pick you up. Give wide berth to a repairer located in Moorooka

    If enough people say the same thing then it is probably true so MR-Redcliffe must be the go. Cockie55, are you referring to Techno British? I have been going to them and have had no real issues ( less costly than the stealers) and have heard nothing different, yet!

    I have tried to get parts off them 3 times. They always say 'um um um I'll ring you back'. Once they even did! However I didn't get the parts off them as they are not open on Saturdays.

    I vote Rick's. Used them for parts twice before and they were fantastic in their knowledge and customer service.
