From another page on that website:

My name is Dave and I own a 1975 Series III 6cyl 109" LWB Hardtop Landrover that I obtained in November 2000.

Sounds like you are a roverholic at an LRA (Land Rovers Anonymous) meeting, Dave!

The Haynes manual has a pretty good section on routine servicing, has photos etc.

Obviously the Dealer Principle of the LR Dealership has a large "BayLiner" or simular boat to support as well as several X partners.

$1,000 is unbelievable for a service even in Karratha.

Also How much should I be looking to fork out on a major service. Car has no issues, drives well.

Thanks

You could try Ayers Rock in Brookvale. I've not used them but there are a couple of good reports on here. I'm thinking of going there for my next service (180k). Called round there last week with a small electrical problem, they were very helpful and didn't charge me a cent to have a good look at it, and fix it. Only took about 15 mins luckily, but I'd ahve been hunting it for bloody ages.

Thanks Ron,

Very helpful and useful link to the Servicing Schedules. The more I think about it the more I am tempted into the world of DIY servicing.

Hi Andy,

Tried Ayers Rock and they have quoted me around the $1000 mark also...It frightens me to think how much they must be making off a service of this type....

I think I'm going to remove my recommendation of Ayers. For the time being. Just had a major service done there and am not overly impressed, especially with what they charged.

I'm not going to say too much more on the public forum. But I doubt I'll be going back there.

How technically challenged do you need to be to carry out your own servicing ? and are there any special tools I would require. The more money I can save the more mods the disco gets :-)

You can always do a quick TAFE evenings course on basic servicing, if you are not sure what to do. It may help you in the long run.
