Thread: D3 service items

Yep very vague isn't it, try asking them, that's even vaguer(is that a word)

thanks jonesy, that’s what I was after.. :-)

Steve 223 - what confuses me looking at that is it has an oil change only interval. This is not applied by the Oz dealers as they have an A & B only schedule.

My gut feel is that it all that is really needed every 2nd service is a simple oil & filter change with an A and B service each alternate 12 months.

Somehow the dealers in Australia have reworded it so that they can milk $700++ each 6 months rather than whatever an oil service would cost i.e. $150.

Except for serious 4wding I would question if the city driving in Oz is harsher than, say London - the opposite would be true is my guess.

Happy to be corrected.

For a Discovery 3 this service schedule is correct.

Oil & Filter to be replaced every 6 months as per the service schedule.

& no it's not the dealers "rewording" the schedule to get more money....?FFS?

Is there a similar link/schedule available for a D4/2.7 MY10?

I'm presuming the Service Details for the D4 is similar to the D3.

Hi Agro,

The only real difference between the 2 is that there is no "O" service. (O = Oil Service)
The vehicles oil change is now every 12months not every 6months. Every odd service is best to describe it (1st, 3rd, 5th-you get the drift) is just a health check. Health check is basically just an inspection to make sure all is well, check brakes, check air filter, tyres etc etc.
The other addition is a pollen filter change every 12 months also.
I couldn't find a service schedule on AULRO to suit as there are 2 different schedules, one for a 2.7 & one for a 3.0 so hopefully the above helps.
Cheers

Sniegy - let me say that the dealers on this side of the island don't know anything about an oil change only service every 6 months. Seems to be $700 for the 'cheap' service.

IMHO this is what puts LR well out of step with its Toyota counterparts. Prado and Cruiser owners are shocked if a service costs more than $250.

I love my Disco 3 but guess this is why on a recent 1500km trip up north and back I saw maybe 5 LRs (Disco, RR, RRS) and 100s of Prados, Pajs etc.

Of course, once you find a good indy you can tailor your services and often find the right advice from them i.e. changing gearbox and diff fluids.
