Scheduled service items

Is there a list of items included in each of the scheduled services? Can't find anything in the books.
Thanks,
Tony.

Do you have a Passport to Service booklet? It's listed in that on in mine starting on page 26.
 I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

Hello Sideview,

The Oz spec vehicles come with a booklet called Service Portfolio - it has the vehicle I.D. details, some waffle about Customer Care, and the Service Records which the Dealer completes at each A, B or C service. But nowhere does it itemise the components of each service. This not only makes it difficult to do much yourself, but it also does not let you check that the Dealer has carried out the recommended procedure.

I've just parted with $496 hard-earned bikkies for the 24,000km. service and I was interested to see if it had really been necessary to change the pollen filter, amongst other things.

Of course, the service recommendations in other regions may be different; we often find that shorter intervals and more intensive services are recommended for Australia, but it would be nice to know that you only paid for the needed bits.

Hey Tony, here's the schedule from my book to compare. Can't imagine it being too much different. It does show pollen filter at 24K service.

Thanks Sideview - just what I needed. I don't know why this is a secret in this part of the world; probably just the time-honored policy of Land Rover Australia: "Tell the Censored nothing, charge the Censored for everything." Laughing
And never let the customers interrupt your work...

Thanks again, now to get back to enjoying another 12,000km before the next service.

Tony.

service items

I am in NZ and have had the same questions..... Asked dealer to itemise them and send me a dummy invoice... that has solved it. I can see exactly what has been done. BTW Land Rover in NZ seem to be phasing out the service plan and we down under will have to pay for servicing from new....
