My car is going in for its 75k mile service next week. Anyone know what to expect how much, any skeletons in the closet type thing

Your one ahead me Andrew. My 60k was expensive, because I neglected to check my brakes in time, and had to let the dealer replace them.
I don't think there are many people on here with as many miles as us, so we are the Guinea Pigs trend setters

Service type A 12/15 - 36/45 only difference I can see with the 60/75 mile service is renewal of transfer box oil, replace drain & filler plugs & washers also renew locking diff oil. Don't know the cost though. look out for the 105k service, renew ancillary driving belt (diesel) & renew front & rear camshaft belts (diesel).

Yes 105k sounds like the big one. Did you say the transfer box oil is changed at 60 or 75? mines just had a 60 and that was not on the bill.

Gareth, my mistake it is 60months or 75k 60/75 so no don't expect it until your 75k one. According to the LR maintenace check sheet there are two types of service, type A & type B with additional items at specific mileages.
Ronp, the belt changes are on the 105k type A service or 108 months, although I am sure I read somewhere that they were due at 150k & interestingly air filter (diesel) is only changed officially on the 45k & 90k services.
Automatic & manual gearbox oils at 150k or 10years plus filter on automatic.
Recently had a 24month 30k service, got charged for 16litres oil!! & only two filters, seems they din't do the fuel filter either, what they must get away with to the unknowing folk. TDV6 2004 Auto Zambezi Silver Badged SE not quite an S with Nav & Rear DVD

Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay
I sleep all night and I work all day
Chorus: he's a lumberjack, and he's okay
He sleeps all night and he works all day
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lava-try
On wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea
Mounties: he cuts down trees, he eats his lunch
He goes to the lava-try
On wednesdays 'e goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea
Chorus
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars
Mounties: he cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around.... in bars???????
Chorus
I chop down trees, I wear high heels
Suspendies and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa

Labour charge is more than reasonable, must have a few Polish workers round your way, I reckon they made a mistake & it should have been £221. TDV6 2004 Auto Zambezi Silver Badged SE not quite an S with Nav & Rear DVD
