detonationretard Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Can anyone recommend an independant, non-greedy LR garage within striking distance of Wilton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 There is a small landy garage in the village of Shrewton not far from Stonehenge, Can't remember the name unfortunately as I was just passing through... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 R&E Land Rover, Churchfields Industrial Estate, Salisbury, run by an ex-Otton's Mechanic who left because Otton's didn't want to get involved in challenge trucks Don't have anything good to say about FBB out Shrewton, my bosses 88 SIII had a bodged weld repair by them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Not sure if he is around at the moment. But IIRC JST worked in that area so might be able to shed some light on your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but unfortunately you just got to look at the 90% average cars that park around the front or are around the back being serviced to see why Otton's are concentrating on other stuff, the modern TD5 Def, Freebies, RRP38/RRS and DiscoII brigade are their main capital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't possibly comment, but Wilton Middle school didn't help For some reason I can't remember many shallow enough crossings on either the Nadder or the Wylye, gonna have to get my map out now and have a looksie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 10 mins is a bit excessive. More like 5mins and then in need of a cup of tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
