    One service item which should have been done in 2015 on a 2008 model, is replacing the timing belts. It's due at 168,000km or 7 years - whichever comes first. If it wasn't done, I would try pushing the dealer - selling a car which hasn't been serviced to schedule is a bit rich, imho.

    Also check that the last of the HPFP recalls was performed - this can be checked by entering the VIN into Topix. Land Rover

    Don't let the dealer fob you off with "Yes, the HPFP recall was done" - as there were several! The last one is it - P021 - if that wasn't done, it wasn't done!

    Plus agree that if he is going to keep it for a while, servicing th 6HP26 is a good idea.

    Cheers,
    Rob

    My MY08 had the inferior pump and yes the belts should be changed by now regardless of kms even though they look brand new. Change to later pump housing a must.

    LCAs will either be done or need doing also.

    Agree on tranny service.

    Otherwise enjoy.

    I couldn't see where you enter the VIN - am I correct in assuming you can enter the VIN to see what recalls have been performed on a particular vehicle?
