Scotland 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 Base 7 Seat Manual Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3
Cost of 3 year service

Hi,

Here in Aberdeen, I have been quoted £366 inc VAT by the main dealer for the 3 year service (car has done 37000 miles).

Seems about right I guess. Posts about 6 months ago for the London area were saying £311 to £450.

Any comments?

Cheers, Rob

Give MacRae & Dick in Inverness a call or Frank Ogg in Elgin... I found them much cheaper than Aberdeen.

I use MacRae & Dick, great service, get a D3 courtesy car for free and wife gets a day shopping in Inverness.

Thanks all for the advice.

I live on the 'wrong' side of Aberdeen (near Montrose) so a bit of a trek to Inverness/Elgin. I'll stick with Town & County.

I may use the independant close by to T&C in future, but I am slightly reluctant to at the moment as I have the extended LR warranty to July, although they do say they fit genuine LR parts so there is no problem should I need to claim for anything. I used them for 5 years for my Disco 300 tdi and they seemed to do a good job (all 3 are ex T&C mechanics).

Cheers, Rob

"Posts about 6 months ago for the London area were saying £311 to £450."

This is rubbish of course, the posts are all from this week (I was looking at the dates joined).

Apologies for any confusion!

Scotland 2010 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE Auto Galway GreenDiscovery 4
3rd Year Servicing

My last service, which was a B service at T and C cost £299, they will do a deal when it suits them.
How ever i have been using Mann Autos in Laurencekirk 01561 378500, as recommended to me on this site by JMC.
Used them recently to change the disc pads, and i shall be contacting them next month for my 3rd year service.
They are ex T and C mechanics apparently..
Incidentally T and C informed me over a year a go that the pads needed changed as they were on the low side.
12000 miles later i have renewed them, and thats with towing a trailor. There was still a few mm left on them!

Just paid £290 with m.o.t. thrown in at a cheshire dealer. Try supplying your own oil could save you at least £30+.

United Kingdom 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3
3 Year Servicing

I live in Romford, Essex and my TDV6 SE is due for its 3rd Annual Service at the beginning of March (it will have done around 23,000 by then.

Phoned Ongar Bridge 4x4 (not Land Rover main dealer but well respected 4x4 specialist who sell and maintain a lot of Land Rovers) and they quoted me £270 all in with collection and return. Then phoned Lookers Land Rover Chelmsford (where I bought the vehicle from in October last). Said I was shopping around for quotes and asked if they would price match - after a while they agreed to do it for £260 with collection and return and full valet.
