Home servicing

Time for a service, was thinking of doing it myself given its not a biggie, are there any useful links that cover what should be included as a basic service, i was thinking, oil, oil filter, air filter and possibly fuel filter. I have home serviced vehicles before but easy stuff like little toyotas etc

Its a 3.2 i6 Petrol, 2007

All tips welcome

Cheers all

Happy to help.
My tip: Download the free workshop manual from this forum and read the relevant pages. Very Happy

None of what you intend to do is particularly difficult or requires special tools.

Come back to us if your have any further questions. Jules

Jules ( especialywith your avittar ! ) you seem to come across as a bit of an ass! The guy is is asking for help !
I too have transmission problems at the moment, but am frightened to ask for help due to your responses.
I thought that when I joined this forum that there would be no descrimination ?
Reading many links..............you have quiried......asking for why, what, when.....in a sumwhat beligerant manner... many relipes ?
Please help us "lesser informed " individuals instead of telling us to use the search button........ as we can not always find the answer.
I have owned ( many cars ) and haave found that most owners sites to be helpful. You seem to be a prolific poster, but most of your posts seem to be questioning / derogaratory or inflamatory..................why not just help ?
No offence or otherwise intended.................but I thought this comunity was her to help others ( amongst other things ) .
Please change your approach................and if you have some input in to the situation, back it up with factual info..............rather than getting up your post numbers by irrelevent posts

Home service —— absolutely

Oil and filter —- agreed

Air filter —- yup

Fuel filter on the 3.2 —— only if you want to replace the pump (it comes as an assembly, and replacing it is not a minor service)

The cap for the oil filter housing is accessible from above, move the power steering reservoir out of the way. It’s a tight fit but you will figure it out.

The drain plug for the oil is in the typical location, don’t forget to replace the aluminum crush washer.

You didn’t mention how many miles or kilometers are on your LR2.

When you feel ready for a major service take a look at this link.

https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic32504.html

I will try to point to more posts that will help with these other items

But that can wait for another day

One last point most of Freel2 is diesel powered

And every once in a while someone has a 2.0T (petrol), but I think that group is even more rare than the 3.2 owners

Thanks

Thanks Paul

Miles, 125,000 kms, have had it serviced at the LR specialist for the last 4 years, but was going to try and save a few $$ on this round

Cheers

I’d have to check. Should be done every few years should it? Cheers

Please explain what was unhelpful in my post. I even put a friendly emoticon in it.

My Avitar is intended to be weird and humorous - was actually a costume used by a road-rally driver many years for a bit of fun. But I'm happy to change it if it offends. Jules

I agree with Kage - Avatar back please! Thumbs Up

I also don't see what Lffsam is on about, nothing wrong with your original post Jules - just good advice for a starting point as far as I can see.... Rolling Eyes

There is a service schedule here globe -> https://www.freel2.com/gallery/albums/user...0Miles.pdf

Here is where you can find the freebie JLR workshop manual to download - the diagrams are much better than the poor quality photos you get in Haynes manuals these days.

There appears to have been a misunderstanding here, a misinterpretation based on what has been read on a screen.

I think it's pretty clear that Jules WAS helping, pointing towards the workshop manual and saying come back if there are more questions.

Hi

Unless I've missed it in tte above posts I diid not see any mention of the pollen filler (also called cabin filter) I change mine annually. (I use the charcoal impregnated type it removes smells as well as pollen and dust particles)

AJ,

That is a good point.

Don't forget to change the cabin air filter. (Change it every oil service according to Land Rover)

I've been replacing mine about every two years. (every other oil change)

Two years is the recommendation for the Engine Air filter.

And I would argue that the engine air filter gets more air flowing thru it and it is in a harsher environment.

The link that I posted above did include the cabin air filter.


3.2 I6 Common items for high mileage Land Rovers and Volvos

Here is the list of Maintenance items from Land Rover and/or Volvo

Factory recommended maintenance

A. Fluids
- Engine oil (6 months/ 7500 miles)
- Automatic transmission fluid (10 years / 150,000 miles)
- Brake Fluid (every 2 years, harsh use)
- Engine coolant (Every 10 years)
- Gear oil for power transfer angle gear (10 years /150,00 miles)
- Gear oil for rear differential (10 years /150,00 miles)

B. Filters
- Oil filter (6 months/ 7500 miles)
- Engine air filter (12 months/ 15000 miles)
- cabin air filter(Volvo: Every 20,000 miles)

C. A tune up
- Replace spark plugs (every 75,000 miles)

D. Replace items due to wear out
- Serpentine belt and pulleys (5 years / 75,000 miles in harsh use, 105,000 miles normal use)


https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic32504.html

Thanks

Paul

PS I am sticking with my 24 month cabin air filter replacement and I am instead doing the other items shown in the link that Land Rover overlooked (Haldex, Automatic Transmission, Power steering fluid, Power Transfer Unit, Rear Differential)
