3 year, 45,000 service

This A service is due soon and although I expect to pay the dealer anything between £350 and £400, there is an oil change as well which I have been informed is an additional £85 !!!! Is this a reasonable charge considering the cost of the fluid and the time involved ?

I don't think that is a reasonable price. I told my dealer I'd get it done at my local garage which will be half the cost. Freelander 2 TD4 HSE auto Tonga Green/Alpaca

I paid £288.32 inc VAT for my 3rd year 45000 mile service at a LR dealership. But that was December 2009. They also wanted £65 for the brake fluid change, so after the service was done, I tool it to the Vauxhall dealer I know and trust, and they did the brake fluid for £29.

Both the LR dealer and Vauxhall dealer are in the same group as well!

Got the 4th year 60,000 service booked for next week, £400 inc VAT! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

I have heard it said that LR do not actually state the brake fluid has to be changed on a three year service but it should be checked for moisture content Question Does anyone know if there is any truth in this Question

That is true, as they said mine was fine at 3 years, but I still had it done after my service. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

If you've got a manual g/box, get the clutch fluid changed every 3 years. No matter what they charge.
It'll save you a fortune in the long run. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

£85 pound is about the same as another main dealer i know, its half an hours labour plus the brake fluid and i agree if it is a manual definatly change it every 3 years, most other makes of vehicle's have brake fluid changed every 2 years so every 3 years is a good time scale

It's also the same ballpark cost other manufacturers charge.

Overpriced? yes, but pretty much the going rate. For a free country, it does seem pretty expensive these days.
