United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Orkney Grey
Service Optional Extras

Just booked the car in for the 4th year service. price quoted was £350. I was asked if I wanted additional work done in the form of a complete fuel line flush out and a similar one for the oil feeds.
This is the first time i have been asked this, is this because of the mileage (30000)?
I think the price quoted for both was around £25.00 One Discovery, gone
Now on third Freelander 2

Sounds like a can of Wynns or similar just thrown in. Give it a miss maybe. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

sounds more like another one of those things they charge you for, but don't actually do anything.

there's no way of knowing if it has been done and as usual they are happy to fleece you.

Like buying shoes and they sell all the 'add ons', creams brushes laces etc.

They boost their bottom line, every little helps Thumbs Up

Yes I paid for this on last service and not sure anything was added. I also had it done on previous service and got the best mpg ever on the way to work the foolowing day. It then returned to normal. The second time the same didn't happen so think I got charged for nothing. I also declined the air con refresh since I thought it would be just one of those bombs that you can do yourself

Put your own fuel cleaner in and if you are really bothered, add a can of oil flush to the oil just before you take it in for the service. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
