Ya beat me !
Need another 500 miles...
Was told £206 inc VAT and all by Shukers for the 15K service.
Would expect all LR dealers to be the same.

I am over 14,000 now so it won't be long. In my experience the price on the board for a service and the price actually paid is very different. There are always "extras". In our case I would expect new brake pads, possibly new front tyres and something exotic like an aircon clean. I am betting it will be £500 including VAT before you get the first service stamp in the service book. Anyone want to take that bet, say 50p ? Disco 4 TDV6HSE

The first thing I always have done before any of my cars goes in for a garage service is to fill up the windscreen washers myself, and specificaly ask for that not to be checked, and to be deleted from the bill.
I also ask if they include things like oil top up kit, and other sundry items that can also be deleted. Sometimes they can be good value, and useful extras, but most of the time they are just another way of getting money out of you.
I don't need tyres or brakes, and there is nothing broken to repair. It is just a straight service, with one or two warranty jobs.
I hope Simon is right, but I strongly suspect that the final bill will be something like Smarticus' estimation.
I'll pitch my guess at £375 + VAT (and no, I have not asked them in advance)

I asked them last time I went in and after looking up on their system for my car they quoted £206 inclusive... will hold them to this too.
Hope its correct.

Are labour rates the same throughout the country? My dealer is charging £75 per hour.

Gareth I would say that is quite cheap, nearer £100 down here. I notice you're getting your new Mini in Sept - congratulations 8) DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Yes, the insurance coughed up. Done quite well out of it, got £14.5k after a bit of haggling. Not bad for a car that cost 18k, and was almost 2 years old.

Well it was... £206 +VAT
Still surprised at the low cost considering the class the vehicle is in, UK prices in general and the amount of checks that are on the check list they handed back to me.
No problems reported and it also went in with no niggles either... LR seem to be building their cars right these days (apart from the odd one with issues).
As usual Shukers earned top marks for their service.
Cheers,

No idea... will check the bill.
The £206 + VAT price was all in for labour and parts.

Crumbs, mine was £377 including vat!
It would pay me to drive down to Shukers to get my car serviced in future, hell I think I will 
The ripping off <Bleeps> at Stockport charged me £84 for just the oil.
