cant just be oil, air and fuel filters. just priced the oil,,,liquid gold[tonguewink]

I dont know what happens at the 105k service, but my indy mechanic will do oils and filters for under $450. $1100 seems like a lot but it depends on what they're doing.

I would ask the dealer for a list of whats involved, or get a second quote.

The service schedule items are listed below. Presumably this will be a 'B' service - 64,000 miles. (I've attached a pdf version below too in case this pic isn't clear).

125127

Dealer labour for that B service seems to sit at around $450-500 and to give you an idea on some of the consumables pricing:

125130

I'm no expert but I think they pad it out a bit, just in case... but it does sound slightly high (even for a dealer).

I love that they charge $126.99 for a charcoal cabin filter that aftermarket is around $30 at most.
Plug oil drain each service but I bet they use extraction so plug not used.
Consumables $25. What, a rag?
Gets up my goat.

Yes. Agree.

I know I don't need to think like this and I can take it anywhere I like but with the car under warranty (and now extended warranty as of tomorrow), it has only ever been serviced at the same dealership.

Perhaps delusionally I hope this reduces any wiggle room and maybe even might see me benefit from loyalty coming my way if a nasty crunch (read large and / or contentious issue) comes along.

I'd certainly acknowledge that I'm paying a lot extra for this perceived peace of mind though.

All I can say is in Perth there are a reasonable amount of options when it comes to finding a good indy Land Rover repairer, with Rovertech being the most widely known and respected out of them all.

There is even a lad named Dazza that is supposed to be not too bad either!

My dealer services have been anything from $450 to $1,800, so $1,100 is possibly not not bad depending on what is proposed. $1,800 included gearbox oil and pan.

Thanks Daz
Had a few good talks with the service guy at Rovertech, which made up my mind to buy the D3.Couldn't afford a D4.
Even talked about customer cars that were up for sale, but had too many k's on them for me.
I booked it into the dealer, as since the car has been in Perth for most of it's life and serviced by Alfs, north of the river and the whole service history was transferred over. I'm going to get printed copies of these and keep with the car.
Rovertech next.
I guess it's going to be a B service.

Barbs only maintain the last three years of service history as an FYI (that can be printed out at least). Disappointingly I know this from my experience during a purchase a year ago.

Do not ever think you are the only LR owner to assume this,,,,
and,
after being here for 15 years,
it SEEMS to work,,,

maybe,,
as you would reasonably expect,,,
maybe,,

[Grasshoppr]

A quick update. Thanks all that replied.
They quoted on a diesel not petrol and its a B service so it's reasonable I guess at just over 800.
