1st service.........ABROAD!

I am very nervous now!

Sport now has 14,000 miles in 7 and a bit months and due to climate and the drive here, I think I need to get it serviced now and at smaller intervals than UK.

I rang the LR importer/distributor and the garage in Paphos is not qualified to work on Sports.
Now waiting for a cal back from Limassol who apparantly are qualified.

My question is, do you think they are qualified? Do you think they will have had training by LR themselves in order to be allowed to sell/service LR's?

Then again, the Cypriots can't be any worse than UK stealers! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Interesting point. Are they a LR franchise or simply an independent dealer who happens to sell LRs? I suppose if they're a franchised dealer you'd expect they would have received some form of training....

If you search google, and put in 'Land Rover Cyprus', it comes up with the official importer/distributor.

You could always drive back to the UK and get the service done, then give us all a lift back to Cyprus! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Bonatti Grey

Look in the glove compartment of your Sport.... There should a European dealers directory there.... Look up Cyprus...

There should be some good people there, because of the amount of Land Rovers on the island (not least ex British military)....

Because it's October and today excluded, is still over 30deg C!

And I have a pool in my garden.

And Diesel is less than 60p per litre

And lots of small, cheap local restaurants away from the tourists which serve amazing food

And 'Council Tax' is about CY£85 PER YEAR!

Do I need to go on?

I find waving your arms a lot also helps along with the shouting! If that fails blame it on the French! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
