gazelle Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I bought my TD5 90 12 months ago with a bit of a limited service history. It was registered in Nov 01, but has only had 3 services since. Nov 02 at 10k miles (Type A) Nov 05 at 20k miles (Type B) with brake fluid change July 06 at 25k miles (n/s) Oil and filters and brake fluid again (I got them to change it again when I bought it) It now has done 27500 miles. What next? And who to do it. A local LR dealer (Harwoods) are suggesting a type C full service at around £650/£700. A recommended local independent (rangers in Guildford) are suggesting fluids and filters for about half that. I know who I trust more....... But what do I need to do for the service?

BogMonster Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'd change all the filters (2 x eng oil, plus fuel and air) and all the oils. Forget the brake fluid or the clutch fluid as long as both of them look clean, if either look gungy cloudy or black (especially the clutch fluid) then you may be in the market for some new master/slave cyl seal kits - easier to do these as preventative maintenance rather than when you have had to get a yellow taxi home!

gazelle Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 I was more worried about dealers taking the p***s What you have said is exactly the same as the chap from Rangers in Guildford. Think I should just get it booked in there. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 If you are a known customer and you tell them you'll be back they can knock the service costs down. Mine do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagent Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 As the others have said... Its long out of warranty so no worries there, I'd get all the fluids changed, as the gearbox and axle oils are now 6 years old, + all the filters (oil, fuel, air) You should mention wheel bearings (might need adjusting) and propshaft Uj's (will need greasing) + all the other regular service bits, checking condition of things like exhaust... sounds like your man in Guildford has the right idea...
