My local Indy offered an oil change with filer and an oil flush for £150 (TD6) so unless the TDV8 has a sump 3 times the size of the BMW lump, I would say that they is extracting the urine  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I think its funny the way some people perceive that Land Rover do some magic when doing a Service 1/2 etc.

They like anybody else change the oil/fluids*/filters* and then do a long inspection tick sheet....

*if due

I thought that they change the oil and filter and then rubbed the engine over with an oily rag, I didn't realise that they did a multiple choice as well  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

My opinions of Kwik Fit are mixed. Took the 110 there for an MOT. Failed it because a rear seat belt was missing and the rear seats were not secure.

The seats were folded forwards and there was a dog towel over the "missing" seat belt.

Missed the two knackered UJs on the rear prop though...

Lucikly I didn't and there was a more genuine reason to fail it. Ed

I guess it all depends on the staff at the local KF.

I am nor supporting Quick Fit as a brand just that you can get your oil/filter professionally changed with premium synthetic oil for just £59.99 its just such a bargain.

I'd agree with you Gary, same garage but must have been different staff as I've had mixed results from them. FF was fine 110 wasn't, both within 6 months of each other.

They are cheap though so given I look after the cars myself only really use them as a second set of eyes and to get the piece of paper. Ed

just got in touch with local kwik fit to ask on price for oil change £65 -not bad
will you fit new sump plug - NO but will if you buy 1
what oil do you use - fuche ?
if I supply genuine filter will you fit it - NO ,we only fit our own supplied ( MANN) ? 2007 tdv8 se ,stornaway grey

On TD two drains I wonder if they know

I think anybody using Kwik Fit is a brave person. Many thanks

surely if they drain from the rear plug ,all oil is removed and no need to remove front 1 ?
hence why service kits only come with 1 plug 2007 tdv8 se ,stornaway grey

Agree but they put Two in for a good reason so best not ignore that fact. Many thanks
Paul

wont use them anyway ,as I only use Castrol or mobil oil ,and want a genuine filter  2007 tdv8 se ,stornaway grey

So total waste of time calling them and posting on here then. Many thanks
Paul

no not a waste,
as if they used decent oil and used my filter ,
it would of saved me the job of climbing underneath, getting dirty and disposal of old oil for nearly the same price of oil and filter  2007 tdv8 se ,stornaway grey
