Thread: servicing...

If it was a "precious" brand with very low KMs per year (think Ferrari/Porsche - only driven once a month...) then it can make a difference, but I think as long as it is a reputable LR establishement then that is good enough. The value you'll get when you come to sell your car at (say) 150,000Km will not be much different if it's a Dealer or a LR specialist, just as long as it's been fully serviced.

the red book tells the story no difference in real value as assessed as condition of car on inspection

dollars you have spent dont mean much

all it may do is give confidence to potential buyer car is reliable and problems have been fixed

as a private seller your not obiliged to give a warranty to new purchaser so why bother

as trade to dealer well the name stealer says it all

Consider also how long you plan to keep the vehicle.

After all service on a 15yo land rover probably doesn't mean much - condition at the time will be what counts.

But if you plan to swap over at say 5 years it would carry a fair bit more weight.

Hi Steve.
Go with Richard(Kie4),he is good.
Use synthetic engine oil,10000k easy and up to 20000k(depending who you listen too) service intervals on the TD5.10000k is common,they have a secondary centrifical oil filter which combined with synthetic oils will remove much smaller carbon particles than normal filtration.
Use mineral oil and you are back to 5000k intervals.
Mine is due for an oilchange and the oil is still very clean,motor has done 225000ks!!!.
