After a few years of getting mechanics to work on our 1988 LT55 (2.4TD), without ever finding one who we felt knew the vehicle as well as we would have liked, we have finally found a mechanic who knows every nut and bolt on there ...
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....

Oh I do agree with you; I am learning the basics slowly.. Mainly through reading what is written on this great forum ;0)
I haven't been scared of tackling interior or bodywork but with the engine I admit I'm a bit wary of making a bodge so rely on mechanics. What i meant was that there are only 3 garages/mechanics on the map so far, which doesn't cover a huge amount of the UK, so though I'd hate to lose days away I'd rather someone I trust at home fix my beloved Ethel than a garage the breakdown company will take me to that will rip me off no doubt

I am sure you will gain experience as you go.....or not. All my experience is on bikes and sidecars, so hardly transferable skills. LTs are simple, like us, it just looks daunting when we all gather in one place to tell eachother what went wrong today.A lot of us may be able to do the work at home, but we cannot take 3ton trolley jacks and ramps etc etc with us on our holidays, so knowing where we can get 'those' jobs done by knowledgeable spanner types is certainly worthwhile. It is far preferable than being taken home and losing your days off. Been there  Keep the faith.

The list of LT mechanics/garages is not very long, I must be the only one that is unable to do mechanical work on my LT
At least our breakdown cover will bring us home

I mean't for locating stuff quickly.
Like you say I always have a list like the LT Register, which I email to myself after any changes as an extra backup. Good work with the map, should be really easy to find help. P.S. Now a sticky  Edited by AndyT - 08 Aug 14 at 23:37 |

That's right, if you pass through Bala on the A494 you can't miss it. |

Correct address but the little man on the google map is well off course - don't know if he is the marker !?!
If you go to the satellite map, find village of greatworth, you can see home nuseries to the left above the village, greatworth park and the vw camper company to the right above village.... Sorry I don't think the road has a name it's in the sticks

Flipping good idea that one AndyT.
That is why you are higher up the food chain than I. Edit: See if this fits all chaps and chapesses Edit: To add a marker 'Map Access' top right and type LTGoodGarages. I have placed one marker after checking with StreetView since the postcode was not accurate. Remember, you may be the cursing an incorrect location.  ...and as a little giggle ?What's here? 44.404477,4.129974

Got an idea, how about a map like the LT Owners.
Not sure how much info you can add but it may be worth a look. |
