Seems very expensive for routine maintenance, or is it just me? “A Land Rover immobilized is a moral defeat for the driver and bad publicity for the vehicle, […] it's up to you to do justice to your Land Rover!” - Land Rover Driving Technique.

New broom running the Classics with a brief to turn a profit; as I understand it, all regular stuff is done in house at Ryton with only a very small amount of specialist stuff farmed out. Expensive but no dearer than other premium brands - and with a factory stamp in your book. I like to do my own routine servicing but for something like a clutch swap or other one off I would consider using them - but they have the advantage of being quite local to me.

I guess if you have just bought your Works re-born Landrover Defender or what ever they call it at £150K plus it seems fair value...


Not sure if its aimed at the old school brigade with our loved vehicles Smile


They will however still rust the same Thumbs Up

I need a job dreaming up these kind of prices Rolling with laughter

Still, if they can find idiots to spend £499 on an oil and filter change, who am I to mock? Whistle

This is listed as part of the Defender major service (my emphasis):

It seems they don't even know the vehicles they are to service.

It's laughable really. Who needs a dealer to top up the screenwash?

In that service they don’t change the transfer box oil, yet do change the coolant Confused

No one's forcing anybody to use JLR Classics, hopefully some well-heeled owners will.
If they don't make a profit a man in a suit will put his red pen through the whole set-up and then another resource will be lost for good. The guys on the tools are real enthusiasts for both Jaguar and Land Rover.

If you have the money to ‘waste’, then there probably isn’t a better place to go. I think it’s a good thing JLR are trying to keep the classics going. 2008 2.4 110 Utility Station Wagon XS.

Sadly I paid just a little less for the first minor service at the local stealer "because of warranty". £20 a litre. Times seven. Then for the first major service they did the diff oils and charged £40 a litre - I had to constrain myself not to burn the bl*dy place down Evil or Very Mad Good thing though, when I did it myself next time I was happy to have saved almost a thousand pounds which felt great Laughing
