Thread: Land Rover service intervals

Hi,

I just wanted to know whether anyone sticks to the LR recommended service intervals for major service. From my understanding LR recommends a major service every 40,000kms. I was speaking to the service manager at Graeme Cooper and he told me they recommend 20,000kms for a major service.

Will it affect the longevity of my TD5 if I stick to the LR recommendation? Would it be better to do the major service every 20,000kms?

Currently I get mine serviced every 10,000km at an LR dealership and they have quoted me only an intermediate service for my up coming 60,000km service.

Thanks,
goof

"I have a plan which works out that you approx. halve the recommendations of LR. The half recommends are for oils & filter.

Change engine oil @ every 10,000 K's (5000km's)
Change centrifuge filter @ every 10,000 K's. (5000km's)
Change full flow filter @ every 30,000 K's. (Whenever required)
Change diffs oils @ every 60,000 K's. (10,000km's)
Change transfer oil @ every 80,000 K's. (LR recommended) (10,000km's)
Change radiator water @ every 40,000 K's. (20,000km's max.)
Change fuel filter @ 40,000 K's. (LR recommended) (10,000km's)
The water sensor is brittle and does not like to be removed & replaced. Also $130 each...you don't want to stuff it up each time you change the filter."


I do not go to the 'stealers' to get my Disco serviced. It is done all 'in house' :wink:
Really I think you should look at servicing properly...its too damaging to stretch the service intervals out.

Damn, I've been doing my quite often then. I've put next to your figures when I do mine. It's a 93 200Tdi Defender!

I also do all of my work at home myself.

I will make a note though - that I give my vehicle hell! Even the devil doesn't have a patch on me behind the wheel!
