48month service costs

Looking at the service sheet mine includedTimbo said:
Oil and filters, air filter, pollen filter,fuel filter,and 8 spark plugs I know the plugs were possibly OK but to keep the service schedule up to date I had them done anyway. I think the only difference between the A and B service is the air filter. Which my indy doesn't charge a lot extra for. Like I say I think the dealers just rip people off when there is no need.
I went on to the jaguar.co.uk website to check my car’s service history had been updated and noticed a tab where you can Print/download the service sheets for up to year 10. These show what service items need completing each year.
With an AWD Over the 10 year life there’s a lot of transmission oil changes, including transfer box, rear diff, front diff and auto box.
I’ve just had a three year service which included transfer box oil change.

GBH, I would print off the Jaguar Fixed Price service menu. When you do that it shows the dealer name on it.
Take a couple in, it would prove that this is still active by most decent JLR dealers and their approach will certainly loose them service business as it it being discussed on JLR forums.

I sent them a link to this thread.That's when they replied that Jaguar had suspended the fixed price deal.JurassicF said:
I have also sent a PM to Pete on here at customer relations asking if they had stopped the fixed price servicing.
To be honest I didn't mind too much the price quoted, its those small things like screen washer fluid and WD40 that annoyed me.
I managed to get the drivers side window done which was scratched. Jaguar paid 80% of the cost but not the labour.

I just went onto mine to check the service had been updated and looked through the service sheets for the 10 year period for my car.
Nowhere does it say brake fluid change, just check levels. It states ceramic brakes only for fluid change? This is right trough to year 10, so clearly incorrect.
I have looked at the 3rd year service invoice done by another dealer I don't use anymore and no brake fluid change is noted. So mine has gone 5 years without a brake fluid change. I do limited mileage in the car so will wait for the 6 year service to have it changed but strange JLR's maintenance schedule is wrong.

My point in another thread. Not sure some main dealer services are all that. Oil/filter change, fluid top up, that’s it.The independent I’ve just used questioned some of the omissions on my service record. Some tasks that should’ve been carried out weren’t.
Think this can happen when owners are obsessed on price. Corners get cut.

i bought mine as an approved car with ,full main dealer' history, but on checking service record the diff oil had not been changed at the 4 year service. i insisted it was done f.o.c before collecting car.

On the Fixed Menu pricing there is a separate column for brake fluid change.
This is because there is no set period of time when to change the fluid, it doesn't work like that. Some people would take your money every 2 years, some would say 5 years.
The best way to do it is to get yourself a brake fluid tester or simply ask the garage to check the water content. 1-2% is fine, but more than that and it is better to play safe than to hang on until you get 4%.
You can pick a known brand one like this up for around £30 if you want to have control and certainty...

It still leaves the question of when the dealer either changes the fluid or at least highlights it to you - it would be nice to see a comment on the service invoice "brake fluid ok <2% water" - but I guess that would be too much to ask.

Jurassic,
that's strange mine shows brake fluid every 3 years and mentions carbon brake fluid more frequently.
I've just had a 3 year service at Jaguar Taunton including oil, filter, brake fluid and transfer box oil change and it came to £452 inc VAT, which was cheaper than Swallows the independent Jaguar specialist quoted. Very good value I thought and service was excellent with a loan car etc. I think they are part of Heltson Group who also own Matford Jaguar in Exeter.
They also solved an issue with InControl, updated to 20A now and replaced the drivers side carpet which appears to have shrunk, although it hasn't got wet. Jaguar agreed to pay 80% although the car was out of warranty a few months ago.
