Thanks for the recommendation Richard, did you get sorted with the dealer over the clutch pedal switch?

U could still get a service at an equivalent place and then go back to a dealer who will run a full diagnostic as standard (if issues are identified in the non-franchised service, which come FOC as part of the 3 year warranty) Therefore cheap service plus dealership assessment at a later date (without the cost!)

It is worth noting that Green Oval is not an authorised Land Rover Dealer, but an indepandent.
I have nothing against good independents and would use one myself after my warranty runs out. While the car is under warranty I think that if I used an independent for serviceng I would suffer financially at resale time due to not having main dealer stamps in my service book, no matter how good the independent was.
I would love it to be different and independents give much better value than main dealers but I cant take the risk, so it looks like circa £350 for my first service

But it's not as bad as when a TT i owned had it's 1st service. After speaking to the service department, asking them the service cost & arranging for the car to be picked up. I was shocked to be asked at the end of the call DO I WANT THE OIL CHANGED! That's an extra on the service price sir was her answer.
