My one is £33 a month and that was with £200+ left over from last car. A bit higher than I would have liked but that's life.

Lots of people going for 3 year deals, but it strikes me that if you are on a PCP deal or similar for 3 years then you should only be choosing a 2 year servicing deal. Why pay for the thrid service just when you are swapping to a new motor?

In my case I bought the car outright and intend to keep it for a minimum of four year, so will need at least three services.

I opted for 4yrs service plan, as it is my intention to keep for 5 yrs, although knowing me that could change.
At least with these service plans you can amend or sell on.

I didn't know that. Makes more sense now, although will you be able to sell it on with the car or will it just make it easier to sell the car?

The Service desk explained all of this and pointed out how flexible this package was.

Just got a quote for 1st service. Sd4 auto. 399. Asked for a price match to 286. Best they could do was £328. Any thoughts?

Ring a couple of other dealers within a reasonable distance, see who's offering the best price (play them off against each other if you like), then say "Well you're a xx mile round trip for me, can you knock a bit more off to justify me coming all that way instead of using my local dealer?". Make sure you mention who your local dealer is (unless it's the same group!) as I've always found that makes them keen to score one over their competitor by winning your custom.

I would like to see an introduction of a fixed price in the brochure such as BMW and Audi do. For instance, if you pay£42 a month(£1512 over 3 yrs) on the Q5 you get 3 free services, 1st MOT freen and warranty extended to 5yrs.
BMW are better still, they charge £350 for 5 yrs servicing on it's X3 or £1380 for servicing and maitenance.
Much more professional than having to phone round different dealers as they all make up different prices. If Land Rover want to improve their image, they should have a consistent dealer experice, so you know that whever you go, you'll get the same level of service throughout their network
