Is a 10 Year Service Necessary?

I am looking ahead a bit but having just booked my 5.0 S/C in for it's 9 year service, I looked to see what to expect next year at 10 years.

Land Rover quote for a 10 year service with a mileage of 160,000 miles at a cost of £2k+. And the list of items is:

Washer
Filter - oil - element and seal
Pan - transmission oil
Plug - oil drain
Gasket - fuel pump
Cover - fuel sender
Filter - odour and particles
Belt - ancillary drive
Plug - filler
Plug - oil drain
Screen wash
Oil - transmission (75w/90)
Fluid - cooling system
Tansfer oil
Fluid - transmission
3+ promotional oil

Seems like quite a lot for what is essentially oils and a belt.

Anyway, the thing is that by then my car will have only done circa 40k miles. So my question is, is all of this necessary when it's aimed at a car having done 160,000 miles?

Cheers

I guess the question is necessary for what ?

To be able to fully say it's got a FSH, then the answer would be yes. However, most people don't look beyond an annual oil change.

I've always been a mileage person at heart & have never really bought 'the oil breaks down therefore annual matters' argument. Though for most cars have dine annual services at a minimum. I did gave a Mini that did <1k per year that used to get services every 2-3 years though.

Get a quote from an indie specialist and see how much they will charge, I am sure there are members on here that could recommend an indie in your neck of the woods.

Preventative maintenance is cheaper than fixing the repairs/breakdowns from having skipped said maintenance items Thumbs Up

Most oils have a shelf life of around 4-5 years so all the fluids need changing at the very least... Thumbs Up Pete

My car is of the same age but 4.4 SDV8
Was quoted £2800 at Newbury JLR for the 160KMiles Service, so have split the job between two Indy's (one a 4x4 Specialist for the Gearbox service and Transfer oil) and the remainder of the service to my local Guys who specialise in Mercs, but do a few 405's and 494's (but don't have the equipment for the Gearbox service).
gearbox quote is around £600, I bought the Engine oil a few weeks back so the remainder of the service hopefully will be less than £5-600, I'll let you know.
My car has 111K on it, and I intend to keep it for a few years, so it's worth doing these things to prevent bigger bills later on.
This is likely to be the biggest service bill for a few years I hope!
