MOT Pass

Off we went to the ya olde MOT station and after 50mins of worry and stress, shes got the all clear with no advisorys..... dam not bad to say the Fuel pressure regulator is FUBAR

Thats one weight off me mind, so next is to get her booked in for a service and the fuel pressure regulator repaired, Phoned the garage and was asked for an idea of cost, thats one became the stumbling block as I dont know which service the truck needs....:doh: shes only done 2500 I bought her and since the last recorderd service and I reckon that it was only a minor one if that

So out came the service book and called the LR dealer in brimingham to find what I had suspected.. that the one at 41000 was only a minor as well.. so ma truck has covered about 17000 miles on nothing more than basic services..ie oil and filter change... so looks like I need a major major service....

So how much are you all paying for this, just so that I can compare the prices... Ive been quoted just under 700 for major service and FPR done

Was planning on doing it me self but Ive screwed my backup and I cant do with the pain of bending and all that at the moment just wondering what else there gonna find...

Something that goes concern me is that Im really getting ****ey gas mileage for a TD5 thats been EGR blanked and all that..????? maybe just needs the above

£200 for complete oil filter change,engine axles ,g/box and t/box etc,£150 fpr change i would change all oils in above annually

Wow james ... wheres that from ????

I think the answer is that most of us on here are probably doing the servicing ourselves - ensuring the job gets done properly, saving on the labour costs and improving on the quality of oil and parts used...

I hear ya M6SJG... but there is no way I can do the major servicing with a crush lower spinal disc and a secondary slipped disc mate....if only I could...and cos I cant its got to go to a LR specialist

I bet there is someone on here who will be a close drive from you and will do it for less than 700! that is an awfull lot of beer tokens!

ok mate will do take pikey out on some local lanes

sounds good to me

get something sorted soon give you a ring

I know people locally here (Nottingham) who have an annual service on a D2 done for under £400. They've wanted the stamp in the service book - which can be useful on resale. £700 is excessive
