mungaman Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 always found that by being in the a.a {not alcoh. Annon. ! } tho owning a jeep can send you crackers ! ) you do have a reliable free mechanic on tap,5 callouts, and some of the older guys know their onions,either because they used them in service or cos the aa had afew along with landrovers early on......

Richard Farrant Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 some of the older guys know their onions,either because they used them in service or cos the aa had afew along with landrovers early on...... Would not have thought there were any AA Patrolmen still working, who had experience of jeeps in army and AA service. They would be getting on a bit now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovington1 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Have had to call on their services twice in the last few weeks,, freelander,, i know ,dont say it !! First mechanic traces fault as air intake pipe,,, after having to buy whole new intake £250 + FIND FAULT IS STILL THERE. Second mechanic traces fault as fuel pump another £200 but at least it starts. So really need to save my call outs for main car breakdowns. Thanks for the idea tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbrook Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Its a heck of a long time since I did business with him but there was an excellent fellow by the name of Pete Toombs (might be spelled wrong..) from Emsworth who did lots of Jeep work.
