On vacatioin here in Monarch,CO and having some scary problems and I don't have the tools nor do I want to fix it on the snow and ice. I will be in Denver on Friday and want to take it to be looked at before I make my way back home to Texas on Monday.

I hope that someone else chimes in, since I have limited experience in this area.

What kind of scarey problems?

I have heard good things about the following place, but have not used them.

High Country Performance 4 X 4
1695 W Hamilton Pl SHERIDAN, CO 80110-2014
(303) 761-7379.

The following place can deal with drive shaft bench work.
Front Range Drive Line Inc
4000 S Federal Blvd Ste B CO
(303) 783-9954

If you can deal with Colorado Springs location instead, there is a place formed by previous L.R. techs.

Pike's Peak Rovers
2530 E Platte Pl Colorado Springs, CO 80909-6134
(719) 636-3888

If you resort to a dealership, then Landrover Denver South, Denver East and Colorado Springs all do decent work. I would likely choose Colorado Springs if I had a choice.

Dave's European
8201 E Pacific Pl
DENVER, CO 80231
303-337-1803

I've been using Dave's since '99 and can't say a bad word about the service or quality of work performed. I'm a very satisfied repeat and future customer. Before that I used Land Rover Denver East since purchasing my first D90 in '95. Looking back, the quality of work there was almost as good as Dave's (and more expensive) but the terrible customer service forced me to find an independent shop. I'm glad I did.

Charles,

If you're having some mechanical issues, go to Dave's European or Pike's Peak. In a pinch, the LR dealerships in town do good work, but obviously they're much more expensive than Dave's or Pike's Peak will be.

The High Country 4x4 guys also do great work, but they're more of a modification/upgrade kind of place versus a Rover repair shop.

Personally, I think Dave's European does top notch work and would definitely recommend him.

Thanks,
Nathan Hindman

I think that my RTE rear trailing links have become loose and I need to add more spacers. Whenever I let off the gas my D1 pulls hard to the left and when I put the gas back on it pulls hard to right. It is not making the mountian passes very fun to negotiate especially when the roads are snowy/icy im kind of nervous about loosing control while trying to counter the pull and get straight again. Also, the day before I left Texas, I had a rebuilt LR diff put in but im not sure if this could be the problem, but I just got this problem after the new diff was fitted. I really appreciate all they help ya'll are giving me.
