Hi,

Just been quoted £540 for my FL2's second service due in October. Had previous Freelander serviced by an Independent garage who were excellent and far cheaper than Main Dealer but I am worried about Warranty issues (and Residual value of car) if I have FL2 serviced independently during its warranty. Any Advice Folks??
Thanks..

You could try LR in Sidcup outside of London. Service is OK , which i guess is really good for a LR dealer

Or better still try the site sponsors, Lookers Park Royal HSE, Auto, Colour - Yes

try "offroad essentials" good price,, AMAZING service..

unfortunatly the FL2 will cost £1500 to service for 3ysr where a BMW X3/X5 or VW tourag/Tiguan you can get with a 3yr servicing plan for £250. The FL2 is the most expensive car to service in its sector. But why they are selling as many as they can produce why should they change. I am hoping the new X3 will be a greta car, competition is always good for the customer.

Hears some thing to think about. You may get a slightly better price when you sell or trade in your car if its been serviced by the main dealer than you would from an independant BUT, say after five or six years how much more have you paid out to the dealer than the independant ? In the long run it always enens its self out and i personal think you get better service from an independant than a main dealer, Its always down to you what you do. There are no warranty isusses if they are carried out by a registerd independant

Enough people here have the very devil of a job
to get warranty work carried out properly by the dealers even
when they are dealer serviced.
What chance do you think you will get if the dealer
thinks you are not going to come back for what is his
bread and butter?
I am not saying it will not get done - just how urgent will it be
to the dealer? Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Has anybody used these people? www.servicingstop.co.uk/Land-Rover

I just tapped in my details and it gave a quote of £265 for a full service, collected and delivered, also advertises warranty protected.

Would also welcome any information from owners in South Wales who have recently had a 1st service, where and how much as my 1st service is due soon. Lago Grey 2.2 s td4..e

here's the quotes I've had so far

Stratstone Swansea £240
Stratstone Newport £220
Lewis 4x4 LR specialist Neath £200
Swansea vale 4x4 (LR specialist independant) £176

Still waiting on a few quotes to come in.
