Can any Uk members recommend a decent mechanic local to Essex county UK please🙏 Cant get hold of Issay at London diagnostics ! No calls or emails getting through.

Thanks for the advice. Looking to book car in with a good independent. Funny enough last time I booked car in with Toyota (in Rayleigh, Essex, UK) they didn’t even have the software to accurately diagnose an issue! Cos the car is of a certain age! Had to come here to find a specialist that...

Makes sense. I wonder if this has anything to do with the check engine light that is now on?

Thing is, it’s been very dry here and I haven’t driven over any puddles ? What is this stuff then? The AHC was turned off when I picked car up. I turned it back on and tested it worked ok. I hope it’s not that. Also, last MOT did advise that brake pipes were excessively corroded. Perhaps the...

I will change the rear springs

Nice one if you can do it!🤣. Not me bud.

Thanks. I will replace the rear springs and have my local 4x4 specialist look the whole thing over.

The rails are solid. Tho.

The AHC Works perfectly but I don’t use it much. I am surprised about your comment on the springs tho. Here is a side profile of the car. Still I will book the car with local 4x4 specialist to have a look at the springs.

Correct. The frame is definitely solid.
