Mark, on the 3 FLs I have owned the servicing was a fixed price at LR dealers, circa £400 each time (per year or 15k miles) only deal I ever got was a 10% discount for belonging to the Freelander Club (now defunct). You take your chance going outside the network, a friend gets his FL1 TD4 serviced at half that price at a local garage but its now having problems. They only change oil, oil filter and air filter, I belive there are various other filters that should be changed and can give rise to problems later if ignored.

I live around 125 miles from my nearest LR dealer but mine will be going back for every service, I would not trust any of the local indepedants, they do not have the equipment to read the 'black box' anyway. I could do a better job myself with a Haynes manual.

As they say you pays your money ---

RE: Service package.

£400 for a first year service, first year service for my last freelander was only about £280. I have a service plan with the freelander, which i started after my first freelanders first service,it may be a bit more expensive (£25 monthly) but for me I prefer it, also it is transferable to my evoque so will be cheaper still as I have money already in the pot.

RE: Service package.

Yes I had that as well on my TD6, I believe LR stopped it because it was costing them a fortune over and above warranty stuff - could it be a case of once bitten ............?

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

At long last someone is mentioning something other than a BMW as an option for the Evoque! We are making progress Wink
I'm over the sticker shock of the servicing costs for LR after a good old moan on a prior thread lamenting the fact that the three year Audi care servicing plan was $750 and thrown into my last deal. Ooooh, if only the TTS had satisfied me Big Cry
