Where to get my first service

[wbowner]

Hi

I am on road traveling north qld but will be heading south soon

I may make it back to Canberra for the first service of my D4 but are looking for options in case

Can some one recommend a D4 service centre in north Brisbane or Coffs or in between

As this is the first service I may need to go to a LR dealer

Thanks for any help

Austral landrover is in Newstead in the northern end of Brisbane city. I think the others are not dealers but independents but being your first service I think it should go to the dealer.

Thanks I will check them out

Belbowrie in Coffs is who I use, and bought from.

If you definitely want to use a dealer, then Austral are your only option in Brissie. Or you could go to Bruce Lynton on the Gold Coast.

The other option would be to use a Land Rover specialist - many on here use and recommend M.R Automotive at Redcliffe, on the northern fringes of Brisbane.

Do the people from M R have access to the online log book used by LR now
I so not have a paper log book

I guess I am being a bit paranoid about this but it is the first major service for my car and I of not want have hassles dealing with LR later.


I asked my dealer if I can use M R automotive and misunderstood his reply.

I thought he said i could not use him but what he really said was that he is not authorized.

I think what this all means is that he can do service and non warranty repairs.

Warranty stuff must go through a dealer which is reasonable.

Whether he can update the online log book is still not known but I will try and find it out.

Is this how other people understand it works.

It may be easier to go to a dealer but M R is located close to where I would be based at the time.


Thanks again,
Richard

Not sure about the online log book. I use M.R. for our Defender, but our D4 was purchased with a corporate servicing program, so for at least the first 3 years it will be serviced by a dealer. Austral did our 12 month service and picked up a couple of issus that were fixed under warranty.

MR do all my services,but they can't do any warranty work,that has to be done at the dealer.

Hi,
As mentioned above I was looking for a service to be done while I am travelling. I ended up going to M RAutomotive for the service as this was the easiest for me.

I also got a wheel alignment as my tyres are scuffing out a bit on the sides. I did not get one done earlier which I should have I guess but I do not want to keep these tyres much longer.

The guys at M R seem to be a good bunch. They gave me a list of things done and proposed future servicing frequencies, which is different from LR as Lrs are at every 26,000km, even oil changes.

As LR do not give you a log book and do not provide access to the online log book I have no way of verifying all required actions were done.

I am not suggesting they aren't but it would be nice to know.

If any one has a summary of what should be done for their 2014 D4 26,000km services would you mind either PMing me them or post here.

I will visit my local dealer when I get back home to let them know the service was done but it would be good to be a bit prepared.

Thanks for any help
Richard
