Evening all,
I'm after a little advice if you don't mind? I've seen a Range Rover that has taken my fancy but I am a little unsure on the service history. Can some one let me know what the service intervals should be for a td6? If it makes any difference its a 2003 vehicle. It was main dealer serviced at 12k,31k, 43k,57k,73k then serviced by a specialist at 86k. Does this sound about right? Should the next service which I am guessing is going to be at 100k likely to be a big one or an interim?

I look forward to your replies,

Dave.

i would'nt be happy if mine went that long between services, if it sounds and drives ok i wouldnt let it put me off though. just service it more frequent than what it has been done, i change the oil and filter every 3000 miles and all the filters and brakes once a year along with the gearbox oil and filter.

You change your gearbox oil yearly..?? Ash

depends how you drive it, and the service indicator will tell you when a service is due. Mine used to come on at every 12 to 15k miles and if the miles were not up to this level it would come on annually. So yes your service history looks right for the mileage.

I have other RR's and vehicles that don't do many miles, they get a service every 3 years if they are lucky, but they do get regular fluid checks etc.

yep i do, and touch wood i havnt had any problems so far and its done just over 90k. smooth as silk changes, im a bit keen on servicing because its remapped and i do a lot of towing. best to give it a fighting chance knowing how fragile these boxes are.

It's quite interesting the difference of opinion from other threads. It was suggested that the GB oil was "Sealed for life" but I think the conclusion to that was sealed until the warranty had run out. A lot folks on here suggest leaving it until it cuases an issue as fresh oil only serves to release any previously "stuck" material and that's what could cause an issue.

Just my observation on topic contents rather than dissagreement or suggest.

It would be good to get the Definitive answer from LR as to what the correct stance is. Or better still a professional Gear Box firms experience. Ash

If the box has got high milage on it, I would probably leave it - but once it fails (and it will ) once a rebuild has been done, then keep on top of the services
