You have to laugh!! (Servicing costs)

ha ha,

Just phoning around main stealers, for a quote for an "inspection 1" service. I won't name and shame them but they are in the northwest.

Stealer 1 - £692
Stealer 2 - £720
Stealer 3 - £785

When asked what was involved in that cost for an "inspection1 " - I was told, "oil, oil filter, fuel filter, pollen filter and a health check" !!!!!

They have to be *** kidding me!!!! Rolling with laughter Shocked

Shocked

I am yet to consider servicing, but at time of purchasing, I asked for a service plan and was advised that Land Rover do for all parts of their range, except the ffrr !!!!!!! I suppose this could be considered discrimination Rolling with laughter

Owning a fullfat gives dealers a license to print their own money

Not necessarily...

I wonder; how much LR charge for the technicians to attend L405 specific training courses, how many days they lose their expensive technicians for, how expensive the model specific tools are and how many of the relatively few L405's that they sell ever need a scheduled service more than once a year?

I suspect that there aren't that many chargeable services to spread a lot of fixed costs between.

My most recent service, as described above, £478. Oil, oil filter, pollen filter, etc. They did advise on rear brakes which would have cost £600 fitted but I declined as there was still 5mm pad thickness. That's at least a year for me.

What is it about Land Rover dealers and wanting to change discs and pads at every opportunity?!

Dunno, I just made the point that 60% worn means 40% left for me to use rather than waste.

Had a similar discussion last time mine was in for service.......

Dealer: we checked your brakes and front pads are down to 5mm, would you like us to change them?
Me: when do the wear sensors detect an issue?
Dealer: when the pads are around 2mm
Me: then I will wait until the sensors do their job!

Mine told me my rear brakes "were down to the metal" after only 28,000 miles Shocked

I was horrified that I could let it get to that state; then I asked why the brake sensors hadn't picked it up? They then said that that won't happen until 2mm and they hadn't got that far yet!!

I had them put back and got the checked independently 1,000 miles later; there was >4mm of pad still remaining Shocked
