Thread: Disco 2, cost of the 60,000 km service

Hi Duff, where did you get it done at and what did you ask for, did you ask for any work other than the standard 60k service?

$547 and change for mine done by a dealer in Brisbane. I remember typing out the service check list for someone else in this forum or was it the tech chatter forum for what was done.

One of the key things here is the paper oil filter (the white spin on one) that LR call the "Full Flow Filter" is changed every 60,000Km.

I hope this helps you out. This looks like a standard print out and some parts will be "as applicable" if you don't have ACE or a clutch or height adjusters etc. I don't have any of that fancy stuff in my TD5.

That was for me Moses, and you were right onthe mark. Everything that you said was done and although i didn't have to pay for it mine also came to $550 from Trivett's in the city so thats obviously the goging price.

In reply so far,
I asked for nothing more than the standard service, I advised them that the filter fuel filter was changed 5000km previous by LR on warranty, it was done by a brisbane area dealer who had had my vehicle sent to them by LR, for some major warranty work that could not be done by the agent in Weipa.
It actually cost $714.00 but $100.00 was quoted to fit an aftermarket CD player, so until I get the invoice in the mail(they wouldnt fax it ?????) I have to assume the cost was $614.00 for the service. Hope they have replaced some brake pads or something or I have been ripped off, going on what you guys have paid. I'll let them know that maybe they should have rang before they went ahead and changed things.......I have a full set of LR brake pads at home waiting to go on when it gets back,,,,AH WELL next rotation I guess.

I recently crossed the 60K line

When I bought my Disco two years ago it came with a 60K / 3 year warranty /service package, although the first bit is whatever comes soonest in my case 60K km

The Land Rover dealer here in Dubai was first to do this in UAE, Toyota don't bother, Mitsubishi have recently followed suit and no idea about Nissan.

Surprised that Land Rover dealers in Oz don't do the same :?

Might be worth haggling with them before you buy or is this just my Middle East influence.

Interesting point, Sharky. A mate of mine bought a Ford Falcon last year and it came with servicing included to 60,000Km. I can't see why it can't simply be added to the purchase price. Warranty stuff will always be warranty stuff and dervice items will be a pre defined cost. I guess the owner will have to pay for anything over and above the "normal" procedures.
