Hi Andy.
My 2 year full service was $1192.58. Ouch. I've only just passed 18,000km so it was a time service rather than mileage. This was the equivalent of a 52,000km service. From memory the service manager said it was a big service. Unfortunately the invoice only says carried out scheduled service so no real breakdown of what it was. Breakdown of cost (all before GST) Service - $525.00, Oil - $169.00, Parts - $322.89, Miscellaneous - $67.27.
If you want to look at a copy of the invoice PM me with your e-mail address and I'll scan it in and send it to you.

I could only begin to explain the Land Rover st. Leonard's experience I had with my Freelander 2 so I won't but I will say be very wary of the cut down service.
I explained I wasn't happy with the repeated high pricing to a new guy at the dealer and he said "no worries, I'll look after you". I got the car back instead of the usual 1k it was $400 which felt great. Then on the way home I checked what they did - not even an oil change. In fact nothing physical, they just did a 'safety inspection' and made sure my brakes worked, tyres were OK and wipers etc.
I would have rather pay the 1k and at least get a service.
Last tip, clarify with them the difference in 'a big service' to a regular one, if they can't articulate it with actual physical servicing ( ie replace spark plugs, change coolant) rather than listing a bunch of 'checks' (ie fluid check, door hinge check) then they are full of it and just ask for the normal service.
Good luck.
As a comparison,mine had the second service(timed),done at 2yrs,as it had 28206k on the clock.
The 2yr service done on 11/2/14,done by LR specialist independents was $396 including GST.
Adding inflation,it is still no where near the LR price today.
A two year scheduled service includes these parts for a Discovery. Oil Filter, Sump plug, Air Filter, Pollen Filter & Fuel Filter. Labour time is 2.8 hours
Team W4 ( - TeamW4 ) is a WA based Land Rover club. Members get discounts on parts and servicing/repairs at a Perth LR main dealer.
The Oil was Edge Professional OE 5W-30
Parts were as they appear on the invoice were
LR013148 - Filter-Engine Oil-Element
1013938 - Plug-Oil Drain
LR023977 - Filter- Odour and Particles
PHE00112 - Filter-Air Cleaner
LR009705 - Element-Fuel Filter
Miscellaneous were
Washer Additive (I keep forgetting to tell them not to add that)
Oil Flush and Tank Treatment
Environmental Waste Levy
Workshop Supplies (sausage rolls for the mechanic I suppose :p)
The 12 month service was $820 inc GST so this one cost $370 more.

I was quoted around $1.8k if I prepaid the first three annual services and was told that it was valid at any dealership. It was only a small discount on what they quoted for paying as it was due so didn't bother but sounds like more enquiries are warranted. Before I bought I rang a couple of dealers to find out the typical service price so I knew running costs and the typical response was "we can only calculate coat if you provide a vin." That was telling me buy first then we will give you the bad news. My q5 needed $1200 in brake pads and discs at 30k km and 60k/4yr cost $3k so you can understand I was a bit anxious what I would be up for.
