Emergency breakdown in France - Help needed
Lee_D:
There is a Landrover main dealer in Biaritz, the parts / Service chaps name is Max Epicery, if you see him poke him in the eye and tell him I said he's still a Les Misreble :wink:
Our Disco coken outen in that area last year, they fixed it fine but Max had a very high and mighty attitude with the reps from the Caravan Club Red Pennant. In so much as they wouldn't speak to them till the afternoon despite the car being fixed, meanwhile I was waiting on the car and returning a hire carand getting car and Caravan to Santander. I got a little angry so went and got the car myself then blew my top in the middle of the Sales room , full of Ferrari , Landrover and Jaguars.
For some reason they decided to speak to me then. :roll:
Anyway, good luck with getting going, fingers crossed your not in that garage but at least you should be able to get the bits if you need them.
Our problem was electrical, theres not a mechanic in the place , just fitters so we had to wait for a electrician to attend and this is no small franchise either.

Until you do what a mate of mine did and blow the diff out (but he did run it like that for 3 weeks, moron)

its a pity its not a 110 as there would be way you could pop the back diff out wi the front prop off

Well, made it home by flying (just). Our bags are still in Amsterdam but should be back here tomorrow, or the next day at the latest.
Still no word on the problem with the Disco yet. My only hope is that as there are few Landrovers out there that they might just send it back anyway.
I don't fancy going out there again next weekend to spend it driving home again!
God, its great to get a proper key board at my fingers again, the french one was doing my head in.......... :?

Chap I know drove his Disco around for several months without the front prop. Didn't seem to do any obvious damage, but the fuel economy got better, and the handling got worse.
