As LR seem to be taking orders again, I’m looking at a 3yr/10k mile lease on a 3.0d HSE. The cost of including maintenance from the lease company is about £500 extra over the 3 years which is less than the LR service plan at £825. Mainenance apparently covers tyres and exhausts (and according to their email, brake pads) but not AdBlu, which is covered by LR. Any thoughts on what’s the better deal. Can’t see me needing brake pads before 30k miles....

I’ve never needed a replacement exhaust for any of my Land Rover/ Range Rovers that i’ve kept more than 3 years and my 22 year old Defender is only on its 2nd one in 22 years, the original having lasted 19 years so no point paying for an exhaust you are unlikely to need - and all of my Range Rovers have been deep waded and used for off-roading a lot, as well as my Defender. 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

A set of tyres should last about 25k miles depending on driving style,,same with brake pads,a set of tyres will set you back about 1k fitted & a full set of pads about £80-£100 if you can fit them yourself.

You can buy a lot of AdBu for £325, around 300 litres I would say. 2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

I got 40k out of my tyres.

And I wasn't exactly gentle on them, but I suppose the bulk of my mileage was either fast A road or Mway.. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

The LR plan is a 5 year plan which goes some way to explain the difference.

Who does the lease company use for servicing? Do they use LR parts? Will you care anyway? RRS MY17 SDV6 AB
