If you are getting a "non-LR" service, just make sure that they are using the proper engine oil. It is not a common oil - it is a pretty unique formulation especially made for the PUMA engine with a DPF.

So according to the manual its a 'C' service that neds to be done - which is also what was done at 40k.
But methinks there must be more to it than that? Seems like even my lowest quote for the 80k is 50% higher than most people's 40k serrvices (mine included) and that's from an independent LR specialist.
Can anyone point me to a reliable source for the service specs and intervals for a Puma?
Ha ha - scratch this question, just found the Australian service schedule and there's no mention of a 'C' service in it. Amusingly it only refers to 'A' and 'B' services (plus some arduous duty guff) whereas my service manual documentation only makes mention o 'B' and 'C' services.
Bloody Land Rover, couldn't organise a two seat outhouse...
Can anyone clarify what all this crap really means?
My 40k service on my 130 puma came in at $1395. It had the full bearing repack at about $520 but I did have the option of not doing it, but it fell into the severe/arduous service so I decided to get it done due to the nature of my work and what the vehicle does on a daily basis...still pricey though..
Cheers, PM'd you mate.Quote:

How can they charge that rediculous amount of money for 45k service?
I'd hate to see what a major is going to cost.
They change everything,even the remote battery. Pat
Well, I resolved my issue re servicing the wheel bearings - HD axles and oil lube coversion to the rescue!
FYI $900 for the basic 80k service.
I have to put the Tardis into Southport for it's first service (13000km) next Tuesday, Sounds like I might have to load up the credit card before I pick it up!:eek:. It will be interesting to see the bill as I just had a new Ranger serviced a few weeks ago and it only came to $380.00.
I got a reply email from land rover customer care stating that any one can carry out servicing as long as schedules are adhered to and genuine parts used. They also wrote " but if it is not serviced by the network it will not be eligible for any form of good will" what ever that means.
Thats the go.....Quote:

I am also extremely fussy and check everything.
Usually half the price of the stealers and ,in my opinion,twice as good.
Sons Puma was there last week for the 40k service. As they did a heap of other things to the vehicle, i can't comment on how much just the service is.
