Thanks so much Camelrock, yes good idea, i'll order one now and monitor it. And just pray to christ that i don't have a leak. I just got a quote for a main dealer service at £855. I think i've bought a car i can't afford to maintain!!! |

Simple answer is don't take it to a main dealer. Ever. They are expensive and incompetent on the most part.

^^^ I completely agree with RRSTDV8 regarding main dealers. Get yourself a good independent.

No you won't. The vehicle isn't worth enough for it to make much difference either way, quite frankly. Anyone buying it is buying an 8+ year old vehicle. A full service history with evidence is much more important at that age. The whole "full LR history" thing is what the dealers shout about because, well, they're servicing them! Even if the lack of a full LRSH cost a few hundred in asking rice, you'll save that much anyway so you'll be no worse off. Being able to show a lump of receipts for work done by a decent indie is much more impressive than an empty book with a few dealership stamps in it. As for buying the fluid for your top up - I've just done the same thing and bought a single 1ltr bottle from a dealership. Why? Because it was convenient as I was driving within 50m of the place t'other day. I'd noticed my reservoir was down a touch so bought some to top it up. Could have saved a few quid by buying online but this was convenient so I did it this way this time. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

I know you are in East London but I have a fantastic independent garage that are LR specialists in central/West London.
