Just got it back from a service....
£525 lighter.

60k service, needed rear brakes but the calipers were seized, so new calipers. Rear prop had a loose UJ, and needed a joint on the drag link.

That isn't bad going all considered (IMO), DIY and would have saved half of that! one great thing about the defender is almost all those basic service jobs are pretty achievable at home by the home mechanic if you want to have a go...

best of all is that there is loads of people on here that are happy to help with good advice on each of the jobs Thumbs Up Defender 90 TD5 County -

If it moves and shouldnt: duct tape it.

Yep, appreciate all that Ken, and I would do it myself, but no time at the moment. Sad 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

TBH, its 12 years old, and got 62k on the clock. So, its time related service rather than miles.

Dave, same as the D3/4 does! Rusted pistons that leaked when forced back in to fit new pads. It didn't need discs thankfully. Not sure I could have stretched to those! 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

Same here - 29k on my 55 plate, I'm about to book in for a service as it's just over a year since it was done 'properly' ie paying for it, I know there's nothing to do other than a good check over, oil/filters etc but I like to have it done around yearly to get the book stamped up! I've been quoted about £150 ish but I bet it ends up being more.

Got mine going in on Thursday for its 72000 mile service. I'd usually do a lot of the basic service stuff myself, I did on my last TD5 but due to time and the fact I'm driving it to France soon I (and SWMBO) wanted a clean slate so to speak as we only bought it last year.

Thats if we can still afford France afterwards... Confused Michael was just telling me a story about a friend of his who slept with a land rover, lonely nights in the desert..

Got mine back, only one 'Red' item, front offside wheel bearing. Lots of 'Amber' items like a seat belt not retracting, fog lamp has water in it etc etc. So, my to do list just got bigger...
