B service due on 12 year old sport

Take it to a Land Rover specialist or my local garage who isn't a specialist.
Land Rover specialist want £450 for a B service where as the non specialist wants £272

Many thanks

Spark plugs were changed at 6 years. Now it’s 12 years old I’m guessing I need a mother new set? What’s the worst that will happen if I don’t change them for another year 2006 RRS Supercharged 4.2 HST muthuaflecka!

No big deal. If it's running smoothly leave it.
