    Apparently Hunter Valley L/R bought out Singo Auto Centre back April/May 2010.
    ANd as you said, they are the only one's with the required electrickery to diagnose the L/R range.
    Derrick Watkins is SO KEEN on L/R's & doing servicing on them, that he forked out of his own pocket for the diagnostics gear!

    4 X Four at Kotara has the computer gear to service landies.

    Also - isn't the Bennetts Green LR dealer actually part of the Mercedes dealership at the same location.

    The Bennetts Green dealership is part of HPMG (Hunter Prestige Motor Group) which includes among other brands the Mercedes marque.

    Landlover4 - I am awaiting delivery of my D4 HSE with E-Diff from this dealer. I dealt with Stephen Tuckerman and he was very approachable and beat Sydney dealerships on price. Obviously I'm not in a position yet to comment on aftersales service.

    I have made some enquiries regarding non-dealer servicing and the All 4 x 4 in Kotara and Singleton are the two possible options l have identified.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Trif, yes I spoke to Stephen and I agree he was very helpful and seemed negotiable on price, unfortunately the factory discount ($6000)for 2010 (MY11) builds was running out the next day so I missed that deadline, probably wait for the 2011 builds to arrive unless a very good deal presents itself on a 2010 build. Please keep us updated on the delivery process and after sales service. Congratulations on your purchase, lucky devil.

    i just had my first service at 24000 k on the D4, i went to the bennetts green dealership, i found the experience acceptable, dropped the car off at 9 and it was ready at 1 as planned, i used the Freelander 2 that they have as a loan car, you need to organise this with them as its pretty popular. The new showroom looks ok, Rob Carrington was my salesman back in July, he was very good, but he has since moved on.
    I've only had the 1 problem with mine, about 3 months into it the left front height sensor failed, this caused the car when turned off to have a very awkward stance, the right rear would be real low. They diagnosed that problem ordered parts and repaired, they seem ok, Cheers Pat
