2 year / 30k (although she actually only has 20k on the clock) service is due, I've found a quote for £499 but I'm usually a sucker for staying local and with who I know best. Is this a particularly good price and/or worth risking a dealer I'm not familiar with? ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable

2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

I think the 2 year is a "biggy" or at least a "B" vs the A that 1 and 3 years are?  ============

Mines due now (4th service) - Stratstne in Newport offered me various options

LR Approved Service £499
LR Assured Service £429
Stratstne Quality Assured service £199

Said I had to have either of the first 2 options to keep my warranty in check!

WTF is that all about?!  Wife's Car: BLACK RRS TDV8 HSE with all the bits
My Car: Lotus Exige S2 PP & TP )

And my TDV8 is booked in for 3rd service at 39700k. Local LR dealer offered 2 choices, basic oil and filter @ £249.00 or full service inc pollen, air and fuel filters @ £449.00. Another dealer just offered the latter at £480.00. What to do..but I'm thinking about the latter mainly for the fuel filter replacement. The cheaper service would still be logged in the service portfolio so prresumably preserving the warranty!

Whats all this choice of service stuff about then?

I thought it was either a major or a minor? FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

I agree, I don't get this different pricing ??

Either the service is done according to the LR service checklist (i.e. warranty compliant) or it isn't !

How do they come up with two different prices for the LR warranty compliant service ? Proud owner of a 2008 TDV8 HSE.....and an Audi A3 2.0T DSG Cab and a Porsche 911 Turbo (Mercedes W208 320 CLK and Mercedes W124 E220 Estate now gone)

I think thats the difference between a garage who know what they are doing and a garage who doesn't

It took me by surprise too. First time I have had the dual option of a basic or full service offered...

The difference is one is a proper service, one is a basic service that just about ticks the box for warranty compliance and finally an oil and filter change which will not satisfy warranty requirements, from what I can see.

PS We only offer one level of service, to ensure that our customers do not inadvertently invalidate their warranty or under-maintain their vehicle (just to be on the safe side).

Just been quoted between £470 and £690!!! for two year service, my local dealer started at £540 but matched £470 without question. £499 is probably about right then , but pays to shop around
