England 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto Santorini Black

wow!! thanks for that Dorset.

Ive just called Hunters LR in Derby who can get me in with a courtesy car on the 9th December under the 3+ scheme so im happy with that as ive also asked them to look at the faulty heated windscreen under warranty as well. Saves the car going to 2 different garages for service and windscreen.

as its still under LR warranty and by that time I will be close to 1000 miles from service (will be doing around 500-600 miles between now and then) for this service at least ill take the LR stamp in the book

These were genuine LR service items purchased by me aabout a year ago after getting a 20% trade discount at LR Leeds:

B Service Items
Diesel Filter £34.65
Air Filter £17.76
Pollen Filter £15.82
Washer Sump £1.38

Opie oils (2 5lts delivered free with Freel2 discount code)
5.5 Lts Millers XF Longlife C1 5w - 30 circa £32.42

I did the service myself but your Indie can do this in less than 2 hours whatever his rate PH is. Anything over £300 all in for a B Service is theft.


Dont you need an engine oil filter as well ? Wink Jules

comes out at just over £100 for the service items, and a further £250 for the time taken to change those items over, do all the other checking, topping up and lubing bits, wash it, hoover it, courtesy LR/RR................. doesn't sound so bad when you put it that way Laughing

I could run with a dealer LR B service all in at £350 but I would be ensuring the fuel filter was definitely changed as its not a easy unit to get at and if anything is going to be "missed" it will be that. Pollen filter is also a thrutch at my age to change so another one to watch for. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Incidentally when I was out in Kenya recently with my son I noticed that he had a cardboard tag hanging off the indicator stalk on his Toyota Hilux. I asked what it was and he said that when you get the car serviced the garage puts one there to prove that the car has been serviced as there is no MOT and regular servicing is a requirement. As his useage is classified as harsh environment it gets service every 5k miles but the services only cost about �75 so not too much of a problem.


I once took a 110 into a “while-you-wait” exhaust place in Nairobi. While having a cup of coffee with the owner, the old exhaust was removed and laid out on the workshop floor, straight sections of pipe and silencer boxes brought out from a store room, pipes bent and welded up alongside the old one, and then fitted. As quick as any Kwik Fit, but much more entertaining! 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

I seem to recall that some years ago Ford tried to stop people making copies of exhaust systems by claiming that it was effectively a work of art like a sculpture where the artist has copyright. There was a big court case about it and the Judge eventually threw the case out. Not that your guys in Nairobi would have bothered about that of course. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Don't think he'll. travel, he has a double garage at the rear of his home and it's set up just like a workshop. Give me a bit of notice next time your due for servicing etc.. I'll line him up, usually on Saturdays but on the odd Sunday too. REME .. Rough Engineering Made Easy

Put the winter wheels on to help cope with our no doubt upcoming mild wet winter and changed the brake fluid.

I washed it. I used a different shampoo that is supposed to drip dry without leathering it off. It seemed to work OK but as you just rinse off after washing the car is still wet and you can't see any bits you have missed until it dries.
