Thread: Puma 40,000km service cost

"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. "
Oh dear! A well known in Perth (notoriuos?) independent told me very recently that "oil is oil" in a manner which suggested to me that anything will do which is the very reason lots of us won't use them.
Not in my Puma it won't "do" and I'll get the best I can for the small services which I do myself but leave the big ones to a trusted mobile man or the stealer.

Depends on the dealer,also depends in the 'someone else'.

The 'specialists' i use will pick up a warranty issue as well.

People on this site have had to go to the same 'LR specialists' to get another opinion to get the dealer to sort a warranty issue once and for all.

I am not knocking all the dealers,some,like many businesses, appear to be a lot better than others.

Hopefully the new 90 will serve as well as the old 95 130 can't see myself ever selling either.
I am a diesel mechanic and land rover had no qualms efficiently dealing with a couple of early warranty claims on the old girl and that beast has always been home serviced.
