its in the same ball park as undiscounted quotes for the service from 3 dealers

I was offered to take my new RRSport back to the dealer in London for it's first service in 12 months time by the sales manager when I collected it last Friday. Then he added that maybe I wouldn't in view of their inner London labour rates..... he was rather surprised to hear that I am already paying inner London rates out in the wilds of Scotland, in fact I am paying more than London rates to the tune of about £4 an hour more, so I would be paying LESS if I take the car back to them, even though it is a 900 mile round trip I can take it in as I have to go to London monthly for meetings and drive there and back anyway! OK so normally I leave the car in Southampton and catch the train up to London, but it is no hardship to drive there and have free parking for the day while the car is serviced! How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Hi guys, I'm new to the Land Rover group - and in fact still waiting to take delivery of my new pride and joy. (2 weeks to go)

I have to admit, I found this forum after placing the order - but I have picked up many tips and answers to my questions from reading through the group.

One of the questions I had, was also related to the cost of servicing, and from trawling through Google, I found this Land Rover Dealership advertising their "Fixed Cost Servicing"

http://www.lookerslandrover.co.uk/service....p;engine=2

How does this compare to what others have found.

Wish me luck with my new car

This is a fixed price - so should included any parts/oil required for the service.

I must admit, I thought this was steep. When I asked at my local dealership, where my car is coming from, they said it would be around £250. Given that my 1st service should be well over a year away, it's too early to say what the cost would be

I know this maybe not be the right area to ask - but does anyone know about fitting a GPS screen and CD Changer - I've seen a few on Ebay recently. My guess is they would require some form of update within the car software.

I have just booked my FL 2 in for its first, annual service. The price quoted for the service is £280 inclusive.

Cheapest I can find in Derbyshire/Staffordshire is Hunters Derby £355.91, anybody know better? David

I've just booked mine in for a 1st service in Jan 08 and have been quoted £252.79
