First service under my ownership

Had the fatty a week now & time for a mega service as I always do with a new car (to me).
88k on the clock with a LR history up to 61k but sadly nothing since so mega service time.
Local 4 x 4 specialist had her for two days, Inspection 2 + all the filters changed, all the oils (engine-diffs-transfer-autobox mega flush) 4-wheel alignment, brake fluid & coolant check. Asked for any codes to be noted just out of curiosity.
Surprisingly enough she had a pretty clean bill of health, only points to watch we're both rear shocks just starting to weep & brake pipe(s) front to back showing signs of corrosion which I believe from reading the forum, is a trait of LR?
Pads 8mm & 6mm so they'll be ok for a while, had to laugh when a friend gasped at the size of the front calliper on this, now I'm glad there's plenty of meat on them!
So, we now start our adventure in a 'dream fatty' & despite all the doom & gloom mongers ( not on here I hasten to add) that have said "you'll be sorry" & "when you've spent all your savings on repairs, don't come crying to me" I feel she & I are going to get on well.
Saying goodbye to my old X5 tomorrow & hand on heart, she was a good girl, totally reliable & a pleasure to own, if the 'fat westie ' turns out to be similar then I'll be a happy man!

Photo's when I've finished 'cleaning' her to a decent standard.

Congrats on the new car and hope you thoroughly enjoy it!

Re the brake pipes have you checked if the brake pipe recall applies to your car and if it does that it has been done. The LR dealer who did the last service should be able to tell you if you give them a call.
