Following on from Colins post for the south i gave Andy at http://www.motcarrepairs.com/ a call to give him his full company name!!

His service and enthusiasm have been fantastic and from the first call to him i knew he was very knowledgable in the ways of LTs! He has had a good go through the engine and sorted out the timing and a few other issues with an MOT on a good fast turnaround. Best of all the van now drives far better with increased power right the way across the board!

Well worth travelling to Poole for a job well done.

Glad he did you a good job Andy.
We now drop in on Andy once a year in June for a service/check-over, and he fixed a few niggly issues for us again this year, and in pretty good time too - it makes such a difference when a mechanic has lots of experience with LT's

    He has had a couple of LT's for years as his breakdown recovery vehicles so he really knows them inside out, , and he absolutely loves them....      ... he even entertains us by refering to our LT Motorhome by the name of 'Goldie'  like we do, and he totally understands how precious she is to us...

     His garage is on an industrial estate on the edge of 

                       POOLE in DORSET

      His name is ANDY - mobile  07749 207399...   
      Address is:    26 Kennington Road, Nuffield Industrial Estate, Poole, BH17 0GF

     I am sure he does call outs / recoveries anywhere across the south of the country....
Well done Colin must try him for Kingpins @ some stage . Have you ever had yours done ?

No, we have not had our kingpins done....
      ...but the job is on the cards for sometime, as we get an advisory on them every year...

From what he has said, I know Andy has done them on LT's (a lot more than once), and he has said he will be happy to do our Goldie's if/when they deteriorate enough to need doing...

I would happily recommend Dunkirk garage in Aylsham, Norfolk. It was my Florida that was spotted outside a few weeks ago. Pete Ash is a thoroughly decent bloke and he knows LT vans. He was recommended to me by a friend who also has an LT. Very happy with the work he undertook.

Very bad news.
ZeeMaps are now charging so that resource is shot, along with the Garages I have added, not mentioned here.

A friend and I are going to try another rack.
