Hi,
Has anyone had a 3 year service yet and can give an indication re prices in the Herts/Beds region please?
My local dealer in Herts are quoting over £400 for the pleasure where as Team Valley Landrover are well under £300.

Crikey! Looks like a trip to team valley then! 3 yo and out of warranty - have you thought about using indpendents?

3 year 45k service at your location costs £260 inc vat, it doesn't matter if your vehicle is in or out of warranty due to EU block exemption rules (i.e. an independent can service a vehicle in warranty without affecting the warranty providing genuine parts are used and the service is to manufacturers schedule)

Mine will be due for its 3rd service next month and in the south east well away from London I think it costs £340, rising to well over £400 as you get nearer to the capital.
However there seems to be a well respected indie (RCV) out in the countryside near Tunbridge Wells who will do the job for about £208 all in, apparently using genuine parts and also has the relevant computer hook up. www.rcv.co.uk
I am obvously quite tempted by this, but if I decide to change the motor next year-probably for another FL2 but auto-will the fact that it has an indie stamp in its service book cost me a darn sight more than the £100+ saving.
I can just see the salesman tutting now while he is doing a part ex appraisal.

Ours is booked in for 2 weeks time at Team Valley LR...........Around £230 all in including a courtesy car. Discovery Sport Hse Lux, Santorini Black, Ivory Leather Interior, Factory Privacy Glass, removable tow bar.

I collected mine today and it was £286 all in, and an XS FL2 as a courteay car.

My first year interim service was £350 (Sturgess Leicester (supplying dealer) - Rip off in my opinion)
My second major service was £350 (Marshall Melton Mowbray - Sturgess wanted £485!)
My third service today was £286 (Marshall Melton Mowbray - Sturgess wanted £390)

As you can gather, I won't be usinf Sturgess again unless they do something about their pricing policy. A shame really as they are only about 4 miles away, compared to 24 miles to Melton Mowbray. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

just been quoted £507 for a third service (North Bucks)!!! Managed to get him to drop to £400, but this still seems a little high based on what others are saying.

Any further updates from anyone before I start ringing round?

I thought 1st and 3rd service was the same? the second including the air filter?

can anyone clear this up?

I had my air filter changed at first 15k and second 30k serivice with oil and filter changes in between.

Had mine done in December,I paid £267 incl vat and MOT with my local mechanic. he has serviced our cars and vans for years and is very thorough. 2009 Grey HSE Auto

2006 Black FL2 SE manual
2007 Silver FL2 GS commercial manual.

Had mine done earlier in March, cost £311inc at Roger Youngs Dealership down in cornwall. 10reg XS auto courtesy car. Previously fitted front and rear pads myself for £95 (geniune), so £406 all in.

Whilst there salesman did the usual - its a very good time to trade in get a new one line, my LR PCP ends in Oct on a 3 year deal.

However he valued mine at £12,900 & wanted £27K for an auto GS met paint!

A.P.R of 6.9%

Think I'll wait until 3rd quarter - July, see if they have any better deals then, I will still have time to get one from the factory (12 weeks) if there are still no stock cars around then. May be able to go for a 11MY or at least see if the tweaks are worth waiting for, or to go for a more discounted 10MY. Will also travel around south west to see how sharp other dealers pencils are. 1998 Feelander XDI Hardback - Gone
