My 2013 HSE SD4 is/was covered by a LR service plan, still low miles at 54K but is due a cam belt change this year. enquired about it today with lookers Battersea where the service plan was taken out and was told the LR scheme that covers my car was discontinued 2 weeks ago. This means my £395 cam belt change would now cost £640 did a little phoning around and found another LR authorised service agent a little further away who was happy to do a deal if they did the next service as well, and they will collect and return the car.

So next service and cam belt change being done in 2 weeks time for £630, made a call to service plan people and cancelled it and have £260 credit coming back in to my bank account so I'm saving £25 or more if I had agreed to the new cam belt change quote.

Just goes to show it pays to shop around and negotiate. Funny thing is, the garage I phoned, I thought was an Indy specialist turns out to be an authorised LR service agent. 2007 TD4 XS The work horse that earns its up keep

If you don’t ask, you don’t get. Well done.  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Is the SD belt change the same number of years as my TD then? Thought I read the SD was longer.



 If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

According to my OSH my TD is also the same now, just had it done last week which was just as well as the water pump was showing signs of leakage

I've got my 2013 Freelander booked in to the LR main dealer near me in Kings Lynn for next week for this.

Service, brake fluid change, cam belt and water pump.

LR £760 courtesy car and wash n vac.
Indie £932 with no loan car and no wash n vac!

Exactly what Steve D above said.

It sure does pay to call around and what you think would be the most expensive place, isn't.

£1350.00 mine with Shuckers Aberystwyth had it all done with local indy including rear discs and pads £723.00
