anything else i should watch out for at this age?

Most people on this forum do their own servicing or get their cars serviced at an independent mechanic that specializes in Land Rovers, so ask the question of others here or find one locally that you're happy with.

Don't be shy asking questions here if in doubt.

As yours is 6 years old or a bit over you will be be up for timing belts soon. For normal use they are due at 182,000 or 7 Years. That will cost you a couple of grand. Getting a 6 year old D4 with only 55,00o is very good. If it was mine I'd consider changing the gearbox oil. You will get varying opinions here but most seem to recommend a complete flush every 60-80K. I do a complete flush of all fluids about every 70-75K (diffs, gearbox and transfer case). Get it done when you do the belts next year??? I get a full service every 10K at a local indie, about 1/2 the price of a dealer. Enjoy.

Hi Matt

Congratulations with your D4 purchase. Most users here are keen to see pics too :-)
Depending on what suburb of Sydney your in there are quite a few good independent service places.

Best wishes and have a lot of nice fun driving it!
