It's 15000 miles and one year which ever comes first. You history looks like mine. 3-4000 miles between services although exactly 12 months apart. You are a half service short, seems to be 18 months between two. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

That sounds like good value when I was charged £408 for a 60,000 service on a TDV8 which only has filters and oils. Mind you the oil alone was over £100. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Don't know the dealership; but if they are like all the others then once they have your car you will receive a 'phone call to tell you they have found all sorts of other expensive things that 'need doing sir'. Then your kecks come down.

No reason to take an 06 car to a main dealer. Why pay daft money when it will add £0 value?

Stuart - I notice you're also in Manchester. Do you have any recommendations in terms of indys which you have had a good experience with? |

Land Ranger. Off Lancashire Hill in Stockport. Can be a bit of a wait to get in, but they are OK. Also "Flack" here, is a mobile bloke from nearbyish, Preston or somewhere. He knows his eggs too and is a good guy who wont nail your hat on. |

Stuart the indy was £100 more expensive plus they wanted an additional £45 for brake fluid change and £40 plus the dreaded vat for coolant in this instant the main dealer come in cheaper |

Make sure you are comparing like-for-like servicing.
