My FL2 is coming up for its 3rd birthday in September. I have booked it in with MJ Fews as an authorised LR service centre at a cost of £300 inclusive of MOT and courtesy car. My question is will they check for any updates and in fact has there been any updates since September 2014 issued by LR. Thanks in anticipation :thumbsup MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

My car is the same age as yours , I phoned around to my local dealers and they said that LR advise brake fluid change at 3yrs old. I'm getting 3rd service ,MOT & the fluid change for £360 , that's at a LR dealer. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

According to the schedule at 3 years its an A service (basically have a look around - check a few things and change the oil & oil filter) plus brake fluid change (and MOT of course).

How do local independent garages access the on-line service book to record work done ? Jules

Im guessing that with the advent of online servicing books for newer models, then independent servicing is difficult to record and prove so the only way IMO is to obtain a replacement service book from LR or elsewhere and have that stamped.

otherwise we are almost being blackmailed/forced to use main dealers for servicing.

just keep all the service invoices, etc to show proof if required.

Invoices should be fine as Iain suggests and as cars come out of warranty they can be serviced anywhere using non genuine parts. Anyone on Topix able to tell us is you can download service books (or order them).

An A service is kick the tyres and wash its bum so not much more than the price of new oil and filter due to the fact the latest/newest "apprentice" gets the job and yes at 3 years insist on a brake fluid change as most LR dealers will skip that. As dealers rip the backside out of oil prices you can always arrange a labour only price using equivalent oil from OPIE with a further Freel2.com 10% discount. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

As I do quite a bit of routine service work myself on our older vehicles I keep a log for all my vehicles in a spreadsheet and embed date stamped pics of major work done, plus keep the receipts /invoices. Jules

They can't get access to the online service book.

Hi, by registering via https://osh.landrover.com it's possible to enter non Land rover service history. You can also look at the service history and print it. Hope that helps.

It's separate to Topix by the way.

Thanks Tpot - registered and uploaded 2nd service details which were done by an Indy to a higher spec than LR 'B' service. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Got the car back from service yesterday. I reported a fault with the drivers door mirror.. it shoogled up and down , so much that when going over an uneven road the whole mirror vibrated and I couldn't use it. Car passed mot ok , service done ok but the repaire wasnt. Before I paid for the service I gave the car a once over, housing for the mirror wasn't on properly, got the service manager out to look at it , then I noticed that the housing is scratched.
Now I need to book the car in again for the housing to be resprayed
Guess who won't be using taggerts in Motherwell again Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!
