Recommendation for Specialist near Norwich?

My '11 FL2 needs its second service at 18k miles.
Hunters have quoted me £432 which seems a bit steep...
Has anyone used a LR specialist around here who they could recommend?

JSF are just five mins from Hunters...
Mind you Hunters did leave me a free gift last time it went in - it was the half drunk mug of coffee, the reclined drivers seat and the retuned radio. Obviously their fees arent enough to provide a rest room for their staff to take a break...

I use this company who are very good. As my mileage is coming up to 90k, I have recently booked the car in for a bit of preventative maintenance i.e. having a new inlet manifold fitted to hopefully reduce the risk of swirl flap problems .

After ringing round a number of specialists, I eventually phoned Duckworths in Boston who agreed to do the "B" service for £350 all in, which was comparable with the specialists and considerably cheaper than any of the main dealers.
Its a bit of a trek to Boston from Norwich but they gave us a loan car and we spent an enjoyable morning doing a walking tour of historic Boston and then went to the BubbleCar Museum for lunch.
We had a great day out, got the car serviced and saved a few bob so a pretty good result all round I'd say.
Duckworths were excellent, very friendly staff, nice waiting area, valeted the car and good coffee!
Thoroughly recommended.
