Dear Perth Owners,
Aparently Discovery Automotive can do warranty services on Land Rover vehicles under warranty. I received this info and a flyer from another Landy owner, and I am keen to explore this route. Has anyone further knowledge or experience with Discovery Automotive?
I would be keen to service my vehilce with a crowd that owns their own Landies, and are enthusiast like me. Any comment?
Regards,
Pierre Why is the fear of long words called hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?

Just had a mail from Discovery Automotive. They can do the servicing, but cannot do the warranty repairs. 
Hi BP, does Franzone do warranty repairs?
Anyway, even 173KW is quite impressive. 8) Why is the fear of long words called hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?

Didnt ask about Warranty repairs but I'm guessing Yes. Just give John a call - very nice guy.  (He reads this Forum occasionally!!)

Had the TDV6 serviced today (Franzone Motors) - no issues - 30,000km's total cost was $420. Much cheaper than LR Dealer who serviced my business partners TDV6 RR and paid $780 for same service.....interesting MY2010 D4 HSE 3.0, e-diff, 19inch MTR's; LLAMS Height adjustor, LR f & r light guards, LR side steps, LR bright finish side door mouldings; LR/Mantec G4 front bash plate, LR G4 Winch kit, Warn 9500lb Winch; GOE compressor guard, Uniden UHF, LR bright finish roof rails, LR G4 driving light kit, LR G4 ladder, 4 x extra rear compartment 12V sockets, Traxide dual battery system and Optima Yellowtop battery, ORS drawer system / fridge slide, LED rear compartment lighting.

Went in with -24 on the reading.
Vehicle went in for it's 36K service at Barbagallo's, and Johnathan was great to deal with. Phone to confirm the time the vehicle would be ready, and was ready on time.
Airbag replaced, and other parts on order from east.
All in all a great experience.
