Thread: 240-250K Service Schedule Items

Sounds like a preventative maintenance list; most owners seem to be working on the inspection list approach with some of these items.

I bought my TD5 with 118k on the clock from Austral. They definitely didn't do the items that you discuss at the 120k service, which was performed before I received the car. Cost would have been a big consideration for them and for most owners.

Makes some sense at 240k to replace the PAS / ACE etc as well as the plastic tank on the radiator, radiator hoses etc. If the brake fluid has been changed on a regular basis, seals should still be ok. Checking the brake hoses is relatively easy, a visual inspection for cracks on the outside, move the hose around and check for hardening. Hoses are relatively cheap; I've had one made up for another car that was hard to get parts for, for only $25.

Can you share the list, or is it on RAVE??

It's not on the standard RAVE cd, as the maintenance sheet was revised to an "All MY" version in 2006. The RAVE CD was last updated in 2002, prior to the content being moved to subscription access on GTR and then http://topix.landrover.jlrext.com

The brake hoses etc are under the heading "It is recommended that..." on the second page.

Visual inspection of the brake hoses is supposed to be done at every service, so the replacement recommendation is above and beyond inspection for external damage.

I know we all love, well mostly love our D2"s, hey I own two, but surely if item aint broke yet. Honestly they are old cars now. I think your better tucking the money away, because as said there is a lot to replace. Fix as required...

That will make a lovely epitaph.

The most commonly quoted figure for brake hose life is about 6 years. LR's recommendation seems to be in line with that.

Add: Just came across this article:

While the vehicle in question is P38a bear in mind that the braking system is still wabco type-d (slabs is a variant) and same callipers etc.
