Thread: Service price

Thanks Graeme you just answered my next question, I had wondered about taking my D4 to one of the local independent guys for service. He is familiar with LR & only down the road.

In saying all that like I've mentioned before, I did all the servicing on my TD5 110 with no issues.

But as an estimate....
13K $190.00
26k $750.00
39K $190.00
52K $875.00

I don't have my service schedules with me as they are at work as with a price parts list as they are with parts guys.
The 52K service has additional work to be carried out hence why it is slightly dearer.
I can't speak for other dealers as what/why they charge what they do.
We can only go by what LR require us to do as a dealer.

Graeme, I don't understand why you would make a statement like that,
Some dealers are very good, some aren't as good as others, some back yard shonkies aren't even worth the dust that they stand on.
Some are excellent & we have a few on this forum which are highly recommended (JC stands out in the crowd & must be praised) from other users.
I don't preach that I work for a dealer unless questioned, we aim to please & I dare say it, but we can't please everyone. But we try to help out, most likely just like yourself, we are there as a front for people who have an issue with there vehicle & try by all means to get them operational again with minimum of fuss.
We have always been known as stealers & will be, but sometimes we do come in handy

Cheers all.

For what it's worth here are the service costs for my 1yo D4 HSE 3.0:

13k $231.00 Labour $195
26k $779.09 Labour $350
39k $249.10 Labour $195

The prices sniegy quotes were pretty much what the salesman told me when buying the car.

BTW I got my mine from Purnell Motors - same as whiteD4 I think - robocop, If you are looking for dealer servicing, perhaps you may consider using these guys as the pricing seems close enough to what sniegy has said.

Cheers

Well I decided to take it to the dealer for the first service (12500) just for peace of mind & I could complain if I desired...

Trivett were nice enough, it was well out of my way driving up from Leeton, 600+km each way, the cost, $619, a little pricy yes.. I still have to check if a tyre rotation was included as it wasn't done.

I'll probably go to Blacklocks Land Rover in Albury as their only 160km away.

From where did you buy at that price? I paid $282 from my local Castrol distributor only recently. Perhaps there was a price hike with the new name.

I wanted to change the oil in the new motor at around 5K but no oil was available in Australia at the time. Reluctantly it only got its 1st change at 25K - far too long IMO for a 1st change so I hope the filters are good. With my usage I'm quite happy to thereafter let it go 20-25K. I'd like to use the non-DPF oil if its available when I need to buy the next drum as the DPF compatibility compromises some qualities.

Today, 5 days after service, a warning on the D4 driver display read my washer level was low after I used it. I checked the specs & it appears there's 5.6L n the washer resovior.

Since the service I'd driven it home (580km) then a return trip to Syd On the weekend. I know I've used the washer twice & not for a major windscreen wash. When I picked it up from service it had been washed & I washed it when I arrived in Syd on Friday.

I know I haven't used the washer enough to empty it. The service receipt clearly shows the breakdown of parts & services, fluid levels inc the washer was one of them.

Should I be concerned? If this wasn't done could there be more? Could it just be overlooked?

Any replies or opinions would be appreciated before I call them tomorrow.

Does the 3l engine have timing belts,same as 2.7.
if so what intervals do they need to be done at?

Hi Pete,

I'm a bit surprised also by all this after thoroughly reading my owners manual etc. and also understanding my 3.0L D4 services to be(albeit a surprising)26k apart!

I have snipped the quoted email from you below & note the bolded & underlined use of the word "recommend". This then suggests & should I imagine in law mean that warranty is not voided by only doing the 26k services under "normal" driving conditions.

Further, how does LRA's schedule relate to/cater for & what are the intervals for the corporate plan I have purchased under then?

The sticker on the windscreen simply has 24/2/12 as service due, but the car was pre-delivered in 12/9/11, so that is even more strange ...

It is very annoying that not one thing I have received or have in the glovebox owners manuals etc. mentions anything about these "health check" services. There are addendums about the jacking points & the oil specification, but nothing more.

Regards,

Les.

OK - the snipped quote doesn't work, but you get the idea!

Regards,

Les.
