Hi Chaps,

My SC is due an oil service, and the local dealer is asking for £438 for doing it.

Is there more to an Oil Service than a simple oil and filter change?

My SC is now on 61K miles, and is 5.5 years old, it was last serviced 12 months ago which was an Inspection 2 service.

Thanks,

Justin

I will phone round the other LR main dealers tomorrow to compare the price, in the mean time what do you chaps pay of an oil service?

We're shifting to Murketts of Shelford for basic services as they seem far cheaper (and are just down the road). Not quoted for a RR yet but were much better for a Freelander. About half the costs as a rough guide, using genuine parts.

Oil service was around £430 mark at Guy Salmon Sheffield for me a few weeks ago.

I was quoted £480 and so did it myself.

Just bought the oil and filters.

Took about 1 hour. The biggest job was unbolting the plastic covers beneath the engine. Next time, now I know the ropes, 30 mins.

Filled in the service book myself and had the service indicator reset by dealer next time I passed by.

Rrblue is correct

Parts cost me £65 Inc vat from dan, they do an oil service kit, then it took 7.5 litres of oil.

Go to an independent if u dontwant to attempt it, the oil filter is at the front bottom and you have around

9 small bolts to take the plastic shield of.

I'd get it done independently, get the parts of dan and keep all the receipts.

The main dealer does do a full condition check f the car though, which an Indy might not unless asked. Might not be worth much to mst people, but to me it highlighted a few important knackered bits (rose joints / track rods).

Just had an oil service done on my S/C by Ongar Bridge in Essex for about £350.

They came & collected the car, gave it the once over & had a couple of things done under warranty, one of which was a new radiator which was weeping slightly.

Well worth having a garage you trust look after the car & I find them much more knolwedgeable than a main dealer.

BTW I have no connection with Ongar Bridge other than being a very satisfied customer of theirs for 10 years now, having had a disagreement with my local dealer, who have so far lost out on the sale & servicing of two FFRRs from me.

Stratstone Nottingham did my oil service a few weeks ago for £300. Cheapest local indy quoted me £250, so I opted for the main dealer.

Did mine last month, £62.00

8 litres of Castrol 5W30 from Tesco on special for £50.00, £12.00 for a genuine oil filter sump plug washer / bolt assembly.

Took me 45 mins.........

The money I saved bought me OEM front discs, sensor and uprated pads, which again, I fitted myself. Stolen / Gone: 2006MY Supercharged LPG Autobiography - Zambezi Silver with Sand/Jet/Jet Oxford Leather.....
