Land Rover mechanic for Fuengirola
Fuengirola and the urbanisations above it are full of Range Rovers, and most of them spend their lives on tarmac between the coast and the Sierra de Mijas. If you need a Land Rover mechanic for Fuengirola, SRM Performance is in La Línea, about 105 km away, and we work on all makes.
On a Range Rover, Range Rover Sport or Discovery, the air suspension is usually the first thing to play up with age: leaking air springs, tired compressors and valve blocks that leave the car sitting low on one corner in the morning. Air suspension is work we do often, so we find the leak before we start changing parts.
On the diesels, the 2.7 and 3.0 TDV6 and the SDV6 have a reputation for crankshaft trouble if oil changes slip, and the cambelt has its own interval. Evoques and Discovery Sports with the 2.0 Ingenium have a timing chain worth keeping an eye on. A healthy SDV6 takes a gentle remap well, aimed at moving a heavy car more easily rather than chasing numbers.
Coastal living plays a part too: salt on the underside, corroded electrical connectors, and brakes that seize when the car sits for weeks while its owner is back home. We're an independent garage, not a Land Rover dealer.

Driving route to the workshop
From Fuengirola along the coast
About 105 km west on the A-7 or AP-7 to San Roque, then into La Línea. Roughly 1 hour 20 minutes by car. If the car isn't fit to drive, say with the suspension down on its stops: we can collect and deliver the car, depending on where you are.

Frequently asked questions
My Range Rover is down on one corner in the morning. What's wrong?
Usually a leaking air spring or valve. It needs tracing before anything is replaced; sometimes it's a cheap part.
Do you work on older Defenders?
Yes. We work on all makes and models, including Td5 and Puma Defenders.
Can a Range Rover Sport SDV6 be remapped?
Yes, and it's usually a pleasant improvement on a heavy car. We check the engine and gearbox first.
Can you convert air suspension to coil springs?
Yes. We'll explain the pros and cons before you decide.
