thanks for the heads up.. mines 3 1/2 and just taken into guy salmon sheffield and they have not heard of this offer. showed them the web site and they have price matched it. well happy

Hi all
I'm in Wolverhampton,can anyone recommend a good dealer for a service.
I suppose its stratstone Stourbridge or stratstone wolves.

Thanks for the heads up about the Freelander 3+ scheme, strangely enough both the local dealers I phoned never mentioned/offered it to me but quoted £492 & £539 for the 4 year service £350 I can live with

Just booked my FL2 in for a "B" service at Yeovil LR. £350 inc vat. I did it by email and mentioned the scheme and attached a link as below.

I noticed that there was a list of jobs that are performed against the two services. Can those that are knowledgeable confirm whether this is a standard A or B service or is in fact a cut down version and what you find is that everything's extra?

I've recently just signed up to their 5 year service plan at the rates here:

The cars just been in for what's described as a major service on that link. When I booked it the guy I spoke to told me it was the 'B' service and the interim service is the 'A'.

Well, just had the "B" service (90k) done at 75k for £349.97 at Yeovil LR under the 3+ years scheme. Came back with a video showing thickness of tyres treads and brake pads, pointed out some stones rattling about caught in the exhaust heat shield (which they removed) and a possible oil leak in the downpipe from the throttle body. Missing from the bill was the usual stuff about sundries and environmental charges and I didn't get a complementary litre of of overpriced oil. Other than that it seems to be the full "B" service in that all filters including fuel had been done. The last service "A" done there cost about £100 more. Lift to town and back provided since I didn't ask for a courtesy car.
You clearly need to ask for the 3+ scheme or you get charged the normal rate. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Yep same here.

I was quoted £579 for a main service by Grange in Welwyn Garden City and £374 for an ATF change and £150 for an aircon service

When you mention the 3+ scheme they say "oh yes that is fine £350"............I declined the ATF change and aircon service!!

OK well I have just had my 64k service carried out by Grange at Welwyn Garden City at the 3+ pricing. All seems well and I have received a fully detailed invoice listing all the service items replaced. Car was collected and delivered back after cleaning. It really does seem that the dealers do not like the 3+ servicing scheme as I had to remind them a few times what the agreed price was, including at the "point of payment"

On a general note, the car is now at 64k miles and nearly 4 years old. In that time there have been no faults, rattles squeeks at all. The only exception being one morning when the rear tailgate failed to operate correctly suggesting that moisture had got in somewhere. It seemed to sort itself out and there have been no re-occurrences. Other than normal service items, it has only required a set of rear break pads, new wiper blades, quite a few headlamp bulbs and a new set of tyres (how long are front pads expected to last??)

As a preventative measure, I have just had the Haldex serviced by Bell Engineering and I eventually opted for an ATF change while it was being serviced at Grange at £374 which after consideration seemed fairly reasonable bearing in mind the price of genuine LR fluid. Interestingly my initial request was queried and there were vague mutterings about "sometimes it can cause problems"!! then they wanted to keep the car overnight to thoroughly test it before returning, but all seems well.

I will probably have the aircon serviced soon, again as a preventative measure. I would be interested to hear opinions if anything else should be done to make continued trouble free motoring more likely

All in all a brilliant car

Did someone say that LR are subsidising this scheme? If so it's no doubt to kill off indies and may have the effect of increasing resale values if most cars have full LR servicing history. A finance guy told me that all manufacturers are keen on keeping resale values high since lower depreciation shows up as reduced PCP costs so improving new car sales. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Just got my 2012 SD4 HSE back from Guy Salmon Wakefield today after a B service £350, had a Disco sport for the day very nice a lot more room in them than I thought, think that will be my next one in a year or so but it was nice to get the old girl back. They coded my towing electrics in too while it was in, all ready for new caravan now 27th of November.

Interesting that these prices pretty much match TVLR's normal prices (and they are a Land Rover Approved service centre). I suppose all the extra the dealers normally charge goes on the free coffee, swish premises and posh courtesy car. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

I had mine serviced at Guy Salmon Wakefield on Monday using the fixed price servicing offer of £275 including a courtesy disco sport. Also included was a free tin of sweets and an air freshener!

I have to say they were very friendly and professional and will definitely use them again next year assuming the offer is still going.

I shall have to go back to Guy Salmon and complain! got tin of sweets but no air freshener
