Land Rover mechanic for Algeciras
A Range Rover sitting low on one corner first thing in the morning is a sight plenty of owners know. If you need a Land Rover mechanic for Algeciras, air suspension is part of our everyday work in La Línea.
The air suspension on the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Discovery is comfortable and capable, but with age the air springs, compressor or valve block start to fail. Salt air and summer heat around the bay don't help the rubber. We diagnose it and tell you what actually needs replacing, rather than swapping half the system just in case.
The engines have their known issues too: the 2.0 Ingenium diesel in the Evoque, Discovery Sport and Velar is known for timing chain stretch, and the 3.0 TDV6 and SDV6 need careful maintenance. Classic Defenders, still earning their keep on the tracks between Algeciras and Tarifa, are a different school of mechanics that we enjoy too.
You'll get the diagnosis and a price before any work starts.

Driving route to the workshop
From Algeciras with your Land Rover
About 20 km on the A-7 round the bay and the La Línea turn-off at San Roque: about 20 minutes by car. If the suspension has dropped so far it isn't safe to drive, let us know: we can collect and deliver the car; it depends on where you are.

Frequently asked questions
My Range Rover drops on one corner overnight. What's wrong?
Usually it's a leak from an air spring or a valve. It needs finding before anything is replaced; often it's one part, not the whole system.
Can a Range Rover be converted to coil springs?
Yes, we do it with conversion kits, but they change how the car drives and can have ITV implications. If you're interested, we can talk it through.
My Discovery Sport rattles on a cold start. Is it the timing chain?
On the 2.0 Ingenium it's something to rule out quickly. Message us and we'll check it before it gets worse.
Do you work on older Defenders?
Yes, we work on cars of all ages, including Defenders with the Td5 and 2.2 engines.
