2008 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Auto Izmir Blue

Service query

Vehicle registered to LR in April 2008. Purchased by myself in January 2009 with 4,500 miles and the assurance that the first annual service had been done. Now on 14,500 miles. When is next service due - my reading of the service book would seem to suggest either 30,000 miles or 2 years - probably 2 years in my case.which would be next April. Am I right ? Mileage estimated to be about 18,000 next April which gives 13,500 between service intervals.

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Zermatt Silver

Ian M, Has your service book been stamped for the 1st service? It should have been to keep your warranty and resale value up.

Yes, I made sure this was done when I bought the FL2

Ian M,
The TD4 is 15000miles or 12 months which ever is sooner between services.

Sorry to appear thick, but does that mean, in my case, second service at 19,500 miles (4,500 + 15,000) or 12 months after last service i.e. January 2010. The service book says 1st service at 15,000 or 12m and the second service at 30,000 or 24m - as mine won't have done 30,000 by April 2010 then presumably service should be done at 24m

under normal circumstances the first service should have been done April 2009, but you say it was done January 2009.

the next service is due April 2010

Ian M,
I would say it should go in during Jan 2010 for it next service even though you will not have done 15,000 miles since your last service. I would do this so there is no arguments if you need warranty work doing in the future.
If you still have the car when it’s out of warranty it will be up to you when you get it serviced. e.g. April

I would agree with waaxh03 re this, as if you had the next service done in April 2010 then in theory it would be 15 months between services, and the warranty could be disputed.
