Not wanting to be negative, but you sound like you want someone to tell you NOT to do the 10 year service! Yes it will 'll cost you several hundreds £ if you do it yourself, or in to the thousands if you pay a garage.

Nope. Don’t want anyone to advise me either way. I’m just interested. Even if I “proove” to myself it’s a risk worth taking, I will do it anyway.

Your haldex needs serviced at this age and mileage. It won't be long before your 4x4 becomes a 4x2! 🙄

I’ll look again. I didn’t have an oil pump last time I decided not to do it. Might decide it’s easier now. |

Just had mine done on a 2014 - about £320 +VAT at a land rover indie near me - including water pump and an extra £20 for the aux belt. The original interval was 10 years before the SD4 came along at which point LR reduced it to 7 - I was getting a little twitchy about getting it done as I came up to the 10 yr mark. 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Manual Dynamic 1956/7 88" Series One Land Rover 1956/7 88" Series One Land Rover - undergoing restoration |

Had my timing belt etc done at year 8 for c £420 by a trusted Indy. As an aside, outwith members of this forum, what percentage of FL2 owners have had their Haldex serviced or do they even know what a Haldex is. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Just my opinion based on many decades in the automotive industry.

And those that go by the mileage and believe they can go past the 7Y/10Y because their mileage has not reached the recommended, will be too embarrassed to post on here |

My Metro FL2 is still covered by an Extended Warranty and has been serviced by LR Main Dealer to the official LR Maintenance Schedule. It is booked in for its 10 year service in a month or so time. (with courtesy car)

I was referring to the big 10 year service, which is a bit more than changing the cam belt, so obviously costs more. It's around 4 years ago I did mine, during Covid which may have increased the price of service items, but by the time I started at the front, and finished at the back, I seem to recall the service parts ( including a few tools I didn't have ) came to around £500. |

Personally, the sheer inconvenience of suffering a breakdown along with its associated costs by far outweighs the costs of regular scheduled servicing. Having suffered a cam belt failure, along with unscheduled time off work, weeks without transport and the costs of repairing the damage done I’d much rather just do the servicing and have safe transportation for my family and I. |
