range rover sport 2.7 tdv6 SERVICE CHARGE

HI ALL.

Recently bought a 2006 range rover sport and is approaching 105k, spoke to local dealers and they wanted me to have the timing belts and major service done by them for a discount. They said normally they charge 900 , but can do for 590 all in. Shall I go ahead, that is the question?

Thanks

they called me today and advised that the tensioner had tou much play in it (i thought they would change that with the belt change). They said its not part of the belt change, so whilst the belts are off, thought may as well have them changed.... so they charge additional £80 ??? is that the right price for the tensioner ?

thanks

Ive just ordered a new Timing belt kit for my RRS 2.7 TDV6 and the Dayco belt I ordered comes with the tensioner in the Kit , Land Rover use Dayco belts as standard all thats different is the boxes they come in , I paid £58.33 + vat for the Timing belt and tensioner from Island 4x4 in Kent mail order

they charged £44 for the tensioner pulley, which they said was seperate. so had to pay them.

Probably just another way of Land Rover making more money

They called me during the day to say my range rover was in a very dangerous state and advised to have a few parts replaced. I said to them, i wont have any other repair done to the vehicle as it passed its MOT only few weeks ago, so why in so dangerous state ??

Overall the costs came to £650
This was major service at 105k with all the belts changed including the pulley. They also tested other parts of the vehicle and advised of any faults which i can take to my own garage and sort out. I wanted the Land Rover stamp in the service book as the car is going for a wide arch conversion in few days with Hamann wide arch kit, so had to make sure its running right before spending money on the conversion.

I sounds like you still got a very good deal for the 105k service, especially with a LR stamp.
I think it's pretty normal these days for franchised dealers to give you a list of 'must be done' items. Thing is, there is a big difference between 'must be done' or 'could be done if you we're really really picky' and the dealers often don't differentiate between the two...

The tensioner for both cambelts come in the belt kits. I don't understand why they would have charged you extra for a part that comes in the box
