I have just had my Freelander 2 2011 serviced by my local garage, after getting a quote from the Stealership of £469 for the second service (daylight robbery!!!). I made sure they followed exactly the LandRover service schedule and used genuine parts and correct oil etc.. Problem being they reset the service indicators only to find the "Oil Service at Main Dealer" message would not reset. I took the car to another local garage who had a Landrover gizmo to connect to the obdII connector, problem was it would not reset the message!!! he said it was most likely due to my car requiring the latest version of software of which he can not get as Land Rover do not release it for a couple of years!!! (Sounds like they are trying to force you to use the Main Dealer!!! surely this is not allowed!!!) So I tried all my local Main Dealers of which as you can guess all said "Sorry can`t help as you didnt have it serviced by us!!)...... Not happy. I even rang the Dealer in Salisbury where I purchased the car and was told they could reset it , just pop in. So I made the 34 mile journey only to be told they made a mistake and could not help..... what a way to run a business, they will not be on my list for my next Freelander upgrade..... Where can I get this message reset.. anyone know of anywhere near. I live in Hungerford Berks... as you can guess I`m not happy at all. We also rang Landrover head office direct and got given a load of bull saying the independant garage should have the correct tools to reset the message....
