Re, the tyres - obviously it depends on what type of driving you do, but I'm about to have my first new put on tomorrow. Managed to eek out 27,000 miles from the first set! Very pleased about that. I do mainly commuting, with some towing and a touch of off-road. Getting Scorpion Zeros from ATS fully fitted for £737 Just seems suprising that you're on your second new set after so few miles...

4 new tyres at £200 a pop inc. VAT. This will be the second set we have bought for this vehicle so £1,600 on tyres so 5 pence a mile just for tyre rubber.
The aircon needs serviced (gas recharged) at £60 plus vat (always think air con is a con and maybe a "make work" example here).
The park brake needs serviced at £90 plus vat. Maybe another "make work" example. They say it has been binding on so I say if the park brake needs sorted then it should be a warranty matter not a chargeable service matter. They disagree and believe LR will too.
Service itself is £545 inc VAT. This is very much the top end of the pricing range listed here http://www.carfocus.info/post/872426359/la...cing-costs
even though you would have hoped that Northern / Rural rates would be lower than average.
We did get a nice new FL2 courtesy car and home pick up / drop off though. Whilst it certainly ain't no D4 - I wonder how much cheaper a FL2 might be to run 
I just ordered 2 tyres Yokohama Geolanders for my Disco £180 INLC Fitting, shope around my friend I should say that was National Tyres bought a 06, TDV6 on 28/08/09 loving every minute of it.. Had TDI & TD5s over the years now nothing compares to this beast.

dealer once told me my tyres needed changing, and quoted me a figure. I rang my usual supplier there and then for a comparative price, and rejected the dealer's kind offer
