I'm looking to buy a P38 Rangey, but i'm still at teh umming/aahing stage and want to pester a dealer for a bit and will probably need a car sourced by them too. Does anyone know of places around Cheltenham (so, glos, wilts, s. wales), that have a decent stock?
Have tried Tim Fry but they're not open when i'm free (plus i object to him taking the piss with the planning department). Cotswold Landrovers in Stroud look OK but limited stock ATM, will swing by later and see for myself.

Anywhere else?

The only one I know is Tim Fry. If you can come further South into South Glos/Wiltshire we have 3 within 5 miles of us.

Just an update on this, having used a couple now.

Tim Fry - Not so good (name and shame rules prevent any further)
Bourton Landrovers - Small but knowledgeable and good labour rates.

My brother ran a P38 2.5DSe up to 100K until about 18 months ago and used M J Fews for some work and lots of advice. If you get past the reception desk and get to see the people in the workshop, they are very helpful and you will gather lots of tips and information about what can go wrong.
He sold his because he couldn't extend the warranty to cover over 100K and it was beginning to get very expensive to run despite the warranty.

I've had two new Landies and two second hand from MJ Fews. Service is second to none in my experience.
