Does your local Halfords have any or any motor factors in your area? You can supply your own oil and filters for a service and leave them in the footwell but make sure that they know you want to use your own - so long as it is the same blend/ rating as LR branded stuff. Also any local LR indies that might have a stock? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Its on a service plan Tim,,next 2 services are free,,ive spoken to them to make sure it doesn't affect the waaranty if anything should happen as its due 18th of this month & he said it will be ok as ive only done just over 4000 miles since ive had it.

How can they not have any oil is beyond me,,I booked it in 5 weeks ago.I might just call them tomorrow & ask them to email me that it won’t affect the warranty.

Isn't oil a basic component for a garage?????
That sounds very fishy to me. As far as I know we aren't yet that close to an oil shortage!
Most garages get next or same day delivery, something's not right.
If it's a small garage I'm guessing the mechanic is on holiday for 2 weeks!  2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

Scrumpy,,it’s a LR garage that has just had a 3 million pound showroom & workshop built this year.unless it’s becau they didn’t know it had a service plan when they sold me the car,,the salesman did tell me after I’d found out through previous owner that their admin should have checked that & I wouldn’t have got it at the price I did,,it would have been £1000 more.I will call LR York in the morning who the previous owner purchased the car from & book it in with them,,that’s if they have any oil

Lol!!Main dealer with £3m refit? That's even more disgraceful!
Sounds like you might be right about the service plan but what a lame excuse from them! 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue

So they expect both you and the previous owner to pay for the service plan? Sounds just like a LR dealer. Merc C220 estate Sport AMG

Absolutely shocking!

I'm pretty sure this oil is used in other JLR vehicles, so how can they not have stock!?  --
