Might be in the market for a nearly new Disco3 TD.

Has anyone got any recommendations for dealers? What are Hunters like on Cromer Road?

Anyone here got a Disco3 and want to share the joys/pains of ownership.

Looking to sell my wife's grand Voyager as now we live in the country a bit further, she really needs a 4x4 and there is a potential of having to tow something soon....wink

We use Hunters for servicing and they're superb.

As for sales, my parents haven't tried them since their Mann Edgerton days, when the staff were rude and stuffy towards them.
I dare say things have probably changed, but the parents didn't look to them when we were ordering a Freelander 2, or when the search moved to a RR Sport.

It's a bit of trek, but we can whole-heartedly recommend Hammonds in Halesworth. A chap called Paul (sorry I don't know his surname) up there is superb. We bought 2 Freelanders with him, helped us search for the 3rd, took our order for the gen. 2, and then aided our search for the RR. He couldn't do enough for us thumbup

Good luck hunting, Kev biggrin

Echo what Darren says about Hammonds at Halesworth.

Manningtree (where I live) is within 20 mins drive of two LR dealerships (Colchester and Ipswich). Yet most local LR & RR owners I know now buy from Hammonds (having previously been loyal supporters of the aforementioned dealers for years) and can't praise the place/staff enough.

Thanks for all the input guys.

Darren, my in-laws bought their new Ford Galaxy from Hammonds in Halesworth and they were impressed with the service. Seems the group believe in old fashioned customer service then. Will give them a try.

Cheers

Another vote for Hammonds (and I used to work for the chain that runs the Land Rover dealership in Colchester wink)
