Best to check with the dealer
 They normally give you +or- 1000 miles but take nothing as a given |

On one Land Rover website I found this:
http://www.landrover.co.za/ownership/servi...hange.html I am sure it said something similar on the UK Landrover site - but now I can't find it The data may be in your warranty documents, or the service booklet but I don't have access to mine today... Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

remember the 2.2 is telling you it needs a service based on condition monitoring not date or mileage (like some cars do) it might be telling you the oil has degraded or been diluted due to DPF activity, I would get the oil changed before you go. DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,
I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |

Thanks guys. Ive booked in with Landranger as soon as I get back. Problem is with the bank holiday weekend, I can't get in anywhere to get the service done beforehand. On the plus side, LR advice above means that I'll stay within the parameters of one month and 2,000 km.
I think it's very odd though (no doubt showing my ignorance) that, if it is condition based, I need another oil change within 8,000 miles. That'd be two oil changes for 8,000 miles? |

Is it a possibility that they forgot to reset the service indicator last time?

Decided to do my own oil change this weekend before heading to Scotland. I've gotten myself sufficiently worried after reading various tales of doom and gloom and 7% diesel dilution whatever that means. 7,000 miles on 7 fresh litres of oil. Utter madness!

Personally, I would not worry mate.
It's a 2.2L TDCi engine as used in hundreds of thousands of Ford Transit vans and the like all over the world!! Next time you get passed by a White Van Man, baseball hat on backwards, eating a cold burger whilst doing 100 mph on the fast lane of the M40, I guarantee that van has probably done 60,000 miles on the same oil and filter... and will go on for another 600,000 miles! It's a modern diesel engine... as long as JLR are OK with you going slightly past the mileage limit you will be fine
