Thread: Servicing of Disco 3

They didn't charge you GST or postage

Did you get the right fuel filter for your engine?? The pre 07 TDV6s have a fuel filter that looks like most diesel fuel filters - aluminium case - pipes in and out of the top. 07 on has a fuel filter that looks something like a screw in oil filter and does screw in.

I know because I bought a Cooper filter locally and it was the former when I needed the latter - the Cooper book only has the one listing for the TDV6.

Thankfully 4x4 have two different kits for the TDV6.

This could be where the cost's are so different, as I am sure L/R has a base time/service that all dealers use. The independants may cut that down, hence the viariation in prices.

Just a thought.
