Service lamp should not be activated for UK models. Only for export use. Diagnostics should tell you why it's flickering.

Do they only need servicing every 96k? That means my third service will be due in a few thousand miles.

Don't know maybe it's a requirement in some countries. If it's the MIL lamp that is flashing on and off it indicates a fault. Don't think the NAS service lamp even has a bulb in for our market. The MIL light is NOT the service lamp. It is the "Malfunction indicator lamp". Means there is an engine fault if it comes on whilst driving.
Yeah when I replaced the LCD bulbs I noticed some were missing - including one which said "cruise".. still wondering on that
I don't have any warning lights, just wanted to know if it's going to shout for a service soon or not, and whether I'd need a diagnostics device to clear the light
When was it last serviced (oil, filter change etc)?
I would recommend every 6k
Oh she needs a service, just a question of whether I do it or take her in - and if diagnostics were going to be on the cards I'd probably have just taken her in

The 96k is supposed to be the major one, changing all the fluids, or so my local Landie indie told me when I'd just bought my Rangie.
All the fluids? Well that's what they charged me for. Since then I've drained the water - well it might as well have been - from the brake system and almost had to spoon the treacle out of the rear diff. As for the prop UJs, dryer than the Sahara.
Do it yourself, even if you have to spread it over a few 'goes', it's the only way that you'll KNOW that it's been done and properly.

Do the auto box oil and filter and the transfer box oil at the same time.I'd KNOW it's been done... not entirely sure about the properly
So I just thought I'd phone my local Landy dealer and see what they'd do it for as I have a discount voucher... £1055 HOW!?
Anyway, unless someone can recommend a good indy specialist in SW London, I think I will do it myself
Does anyone have that servicing sheet that turns up here occasionally?
I'm know how to DIY:
Oil
Oil filter
Air filter
Pollen filters
gearbox oil and filter
Grease UJs
I'm hesitant on the fuel filter (bleeding) and the brake fluid (for obvious reasons).
What challenges are there with the EAS filters, transfer oil and diff oil?

Jeez! Thats a **** take.
Personally i'd leave the brake fluid to the indie.
The diffs are easy.
Take for a run to get oil warm.
Park on a level.
Undo filler plug first (top one) - you dont want to drain out to find the filler plug is seized
Put container under diff & undo drain plug - drain oil out.
Replace drain plug - clean off magnets & check for swarfe
Fill with approx 1.6l EP90 or until it starts to run out of filler hole.
Replace drain plug, take for a run & re-check when cooled.
Not sure on transfer oil for your model.

Look for service schedule in RAVE. All services and items to check at different mileages are listed.
Ah lovely and simple, thanks
Mine's a 2001 DHSE if that helps transfer wise?
Yeah I think letting a garage do the breaks is the best plan - would the brake fluid have been changed at 48k or more recently?

If there is no record of a brake fluid change i'd get it done for peace of mind.
The gearbox oil should be done every 24k
