Service Plans

Do the service plans offer any savings over just paying as you go or is it that you just lock out inflation ?
If it's relevant I have a MY24 D300 on 19k miles MY24 Dynamic SE,MY21 HSE Silver, MY20 SQ7, MY 18 RRS HSE Dynamic , MY 16 RRS Autobiography now gone & MY 2005 Discovery 3 HSE that I will be buried in !

Yeh there is quite a saving to be had, I rung my local dealer to get the prices of the first 5 services and the service pack works out alot cheaper than those prices and can just pay it monthly interest fee

Or use the money to get it serviced at a decent indie and get better service for less money. And you won't get messed around like you might at a LR dealership. You don't have to use LR for normal servicing. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Agree indie will be cheaper and I have a great one I use from time to time when I'm stuck on my older discoveries which I normally service myself for peanuts , however those cars are much less value and will leave here for the graveyard and so no hit on trade in value and less risk if I stuff something up !. Also my disco 3 which is at 206k miles was serviced independently by a previous owner and as a result a pretty important upgrade was missed to the oil pump housing which many years later under my ownership led to the timing chain breaking and a top end engine rebuild. If you added up all the savings on servicing it would probably have paid for the rebuild to be fair MY24 Dynamic SE,MY21 HSE Silver, MY20 SQ7, MY 18 RRS HSE Dynamic , MY 16 RRS Autobiography now gone & MY 2005 Discovery 3 HSE that I will be buried in !

Yeh indie for older less valuable cars makes sense but for new cars 100k plus no chance, no one will touch them without a full land rover history within the first few years

Prepare to have your vehicle sat in the dealers for weeks at a time and never being properly fixed, in that case. Your choice.

And as for no one touching them without a dealer history, are you sure? Anyone with any LR experience will be very happy to see a specialist LR indie in the service book. They'll know it's been looked after properly. Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Dealer plans can be hit or miss, really depends on your local place.

You're lucky then. Thumbs Up
My experience, and the experience of others, is that they are expensive and rubbish. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

One of the issues I found is that if you just go to main dealer for warranty work, and with a RRS you will, you'll find yourself right at the back of the queue with service customers getting priority. Tim
RRS sold and replaced with a Skoda Kodiaq after appalling RR Dealer experience and LR inability to supply new cars in any sort of reasonable time frame..

I found that it mattered not one jot - they just want to do service work because it's easy money. Warranty work takes time and takes a ramp out of use for the easy servicing cash cow.

That and them lying, doing poor work, breaking things and then using my warranty to pay for the repairs. The list goes on.

We even had a member on here have their RRS dropped off the ramp by a main dealer.

My original RRS was always having issues whilst being looked after by a main dealer. When I started using a local LR specialist instead it suddenly became much more reliable, didn't need several goes to fix things that do, inevitably, require doing on cars. It was like a different vehicle all together.

So, my experience is that LR dealers aren't worth the effort. Others may be luckier. Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
