D4 service

[gloverpcg]

Travelling anticlockwise around Oz and due for a service Perth Albany area. Would appreciate advice on best Landrover service garage.

If you are wanting to stick with dealers .................. there are two LR dealerships in Perth, and one in Albany.

1. Barbagallo Land Rover in Osborne Park (Perth)
2. Southern Land Rover in Cannington (Perth)

I have always had my D4 serviced at Barbagallo (I bought it there) and have always been pleased with the service they provide. Similarly, I know of many others who will speak as highly of Southern's. Both the Perth dealerships are owned by Barbagallo anyway, so I would expect them to be pretty similar.

In Albany, you have Albany Land Rover, which is part of the "Albany World of Cars" group on the main highway on the way into town. They have a very good reputation. In fact, some people from Perth drive down to Albany to have their vehicles serviced.

If you want to go to someone other than a dealership, I would recommend Jordan Rover Tech in Bentley (not far from Southerns - a bit closer to the centre of Perth). You won't come across anyone who knows Land Rovers better than Kevin Falconbridge, the owner of the business.

:BigThumb: What he said for Jordan Rovertech and Kevin's knowledge of Landrover's.

Very happy with service from them, reasonably priced, and generally responsive time-wise (ie they've fit me in a short notice!).

Back in Bundy after 4 months and 20k with no problems. Now have 135k on the clock and have been told I will need a timing belt service at 150k. Anyone have any advice as to what else should be done with this service and any idea of cost?

Yes, there are a few threads regarding the timing belt change (and related servicing).

This is a recent one:

I think it is actually due at 168k kms...

I have just had mine done here in Coffs, both belts with the body on.
It was done at Mills-Thom Mechanical and can highly recommend them as the price was reasonable and the service great. They are LR specialists.
I did mine early as I have a few trips planned in the near future and I am big on preventative maintenance.
