The Landie Nomads

The Place to get your land Rover expedition overhauls and services done

Outstanding service again from the peeps at TLN Parts. Relocated and reinvented, the father-son team of Regan and Dudley again did an excellent job on my Land Rover Puma 90 2.4 recently. Doing a comprehensive pre-expedition overhaul and picking up on problems that could have cost me dear on the long unforgiving African road. I knew the brake master had to be done, but literally, on the way to the garage, the power dropped alarmingly. It turned out the turbo had to be replaced too. And had it not, might have caused catastrophic damage to the engine eventually if it had failed. I also had too much play on the steering after hitting every pothole (and in Joburg there are a few of those I tell you:). An overhaul of the suspension was also done. All are reasonably priced at a decent hourly fee and corresponding hours. The vehicle drives really well now. Confident it won’t let me done. Everything was explained and thoroughly reviewed. And the job done is a reasonable time. I had in fact met the team when I first got to Joburg last year. Wet behind the ears in the city, I was hit by another vehicle on the side at a junction and the insurance company tried to write off the vehicle. With Regan and Dudley, we successfully argued that all of the mechanical repair work was unnecessary (only the body had been affected really). Not only did they save my vehicle from corporate clutches. But did an amazing rebuild on her too. If you’re in town or on outsider desperate for a garage to do those expedition overhauls on your Landies in Joburg. There is only one place I can advise (and I’ve been to a few and have some stories to tell that I will save for another day:). Trustworthy and impeccable work at reasonable prices.
