Garry, is this what you need?

Garrycol,

I note that's in miles not km.

Neither of them show the transmission interval change suggested by Sniegy:

Unfortunately this is not true for Australia, we find that the fluid is best changed around the 84K mark (while doing a minor service).

I should go back in to Topix to see if I can find a sheet that is Aust specific.

This is the one shown for Australia but it still shows 240,000km for the trans.

Hmm, very interesting.......

When I ordered my D4 I asked the dealer about servicing. He claimed that the 'minor' (12,000K, 36,000K, 60,000K) services were an "inspection only" service and were optional as far as warranty went.

Could the D4 be so different to the D3 or is this another case of dealer BS?

Cheers all,
Paul

Thanks to Ron and Dangermouse for your efforts. What I was after.

I was going to log on to Topix and pay to download the lot but I cannot still get onto the site even if I google it and try to go in that way - I will try my other computer later and see what happens. The laptop I use does from time to time lock me out of sites but googling them normally works.

As far as a subscription - I do not have one at the moment but am a registered user - even if you are not a registered user it should let you to get to the home page to either log in or register.

Thanks

Garry

Ron the PDF that you have is the correct one, I think we have a misunderstanding in that the service schedule IS 240,000km's for the auto service, but we "recommend" that it be done sooner.

Hope this clears this up. ;)

Cheers

Melbourne City Land Rover:p
Now you know, you might not visit..
If ever in Melbourne feel free to drop in, & thats everyone.

Pricing for the service seems awfully high given the parts used. So looking at options. I am very mechanically minded and normally service my own vehicles but the RRS is new to me.

Is there anything special about changing

• the oil filter?

• the fuel filter?
• the pollen filter?

The service schedule also indicates the brake fluid should be changed every three years - same as any other car or is there something special.

The service schedule also indicates the coolant is to be changed only every 10 years - seems a bit long - I thought long life fluid was every 5 years.

Also it has the air filter about every 110,000km - I would have every 40,000km for town type usage.

I will download the workshop manual when I get my download back. Resetting my modem allowed me to log onto Topix.

Thanks
