Handy to be able to do when you are not having a service done by an authorised workshop - IF the vehicle has had the benefit of all service items checked per the service schedule and any recalls/inspections done. Otherwise you will just be building up future problems for yourself and the vehicle. I assume you don't really think an oil and filter change equals a full service.

On a relatively new vehicle not having recognised service records (not necessarily by a LR dealer) means you could be losing more in resale value than you are saving on service costs. May well have some issues with warranty as well.

I'm not supporting excessive costs or unnecessary service work by the way, I just put a lot of value on good servicing.

AHoy.

Hi Ahoy , the dealer in question is charging £105 P/hr labour , the technician would be lucky to get £20 P/hr, being a Technician myself (AMIMI Member) following the service schedule as set by landrover is nothing to difficult , as for recall's Etc they have a legal duty to carry out these, I alway use quality lubricants were specfied and dispose of waste in the legal/correct method. i Posted the service reset details for likeminded people.

Over 3 years saving £300+ per service approx £1000, I'm Not sure a dealer service history adds that much value to the vehicle.

I use my own mechanic for servicing with warranty work and recalls done at the main dealer-no problems.

And all this about paint/body warranty?? I've never heard of a new car having such a problem? body work repairs are relatively in-expensive anyway.

Thanks for the tip there totherescue. Il be dammed if im paying a garage £200 to get my oil changed. A service history will help my vehicle sell better however it will not be worth anymore in 5-6 years time when I come to sell it so whats the point..?
Im just glad people like urself come on here and give us some knowledge so thankyou for that.

Thank you for the tip, Totherescue.

It took me several attempts in order to reset it, and I am not sure whether I could do it again, but at the end it worked.

After Changing the oil (remove belly pan +21mm spanner for drain bung) the oil filter Not so Easy to change , you just get your hand just on the cap, the Only way to replace the element , is to remove the cooling fans: First unplug wiring/ unscrew motion sensors do Not dis-connect!, gently remove the cooling fan cowling away from radiator) careful of the power steer hose ,then you have full access to the filter head, replace as reversal 6 litres of 5/30w full synthic oil , change air filter easy was supprised how dirty it became after only 15,000 mls, all done, running Sweet!

Hi Totherescue, I'm taking it that the oil filter is on the front of the engine then? I'm trying to see it to determine if it looks like it was changed recently but a quick scrabble under the car on my back proved fruitless due to the belly pan. Any way it can be viewed without stripping down? Cheers. Also available in Clean.

Sorry guys, eventually found info with search function. Not going to see anything if it is an element rather than canister type  Also available in Clean.
