can anyone help , i've recently purchased a 2001 p38 4.6 vouge on gas with 72,000 miles on the clock. I've just done a 1,600mile journey in her and she didnt miss a beat it was a joy to drive, but although i bought it with a service book full of stamps and milage there is no record of what was done , so i want her to have the works , all oils and lubricants/fluids etc , filters , so my question is any idea how much should i be looking to pay and can anyone recomend a good independant landrover garage in the northwest/north wales area. thank you in advance for any replies , doing this now as im a long distance lorry driver and i never now when i will get back.:)

lol....

I have to say those stupid voice recognition things creeping into business customer servie centres get very confused with my Queens English and annoyingly almost perfect diction...(Thanks Dad - we would get the belt if we dropped letters or didn't have proper pronounciation etc)....

So I have to try and reduce the harsh T's and H's.....:D

But this is Surrey prices.....never lived anywhere else so wouldn't know the regional variations....

That's really confused me. Looking at the 500 quid major service, I reckon that you could buy all the service parts, all necessary tools (excluding Nanocom), a trolley jack and a pair of axle stands for less. In that sense it seems a hell of a lot.

On the other hand, they've got to earn a living. Say, 150 for renewables and the service labour comes in at 350. That's probably not that much for a day's skilled labour and overheads.

I think I'll go for reusable tools and DIY.

The downside of this is that the experienced posters on here are in for a long list of dumb-ass questions.

Hi mate i have a p38 also a 4.6 on gas and i use bell automotive who are based in queensferry in flintshire , they are v/good and very reasonable in price, give them a call and ask for graham hes the owner and knows what hes talking about. the number is 01244-813321. hope it helps Don.
 
All good going DIY but will cost you a lot more if you muck it up.

Although if you know what your doing it can really be cheaper.

I fully serviced my l322 td6 including engine oils, filters and gearbox oil and filter.

Parts cost me £220 and I fitted myself.

Landrover would charge about £1000 for all this !

around £800 for a full service. if you got to a landy agent, doing it yourself would cost you around 150 plus parts. you pay for the time it takes to do the job.
