I have seen in the downloads available on the Disco3 website that there is a Service Schedule download for the D3 for 'Rest of the World' that indicates 6 monthly services as O A O B O A O B etc. O being an oil and filter change only.
I note in the Australian Service Book that the 6 Monthly services are A B A C A B A etc.
I wonder how differently priced other Aussie D3 owners have found the A & B Service and if these really are minor & major services? I cannot find any specific Australian guide as to what the A & B service entail.
Why the difference?

I found that at 6 months ; oil/filter/plug grease.
12 months ; add aircon ( that's CON ! ) filter ( if you fall for it ).
18 months ; same as 6
24 months ; same as 12 plus maybe flog you an air filter ( if you fall for it ).
30 months : same as 6
36 months : same as 12 plus brake fluid flush.
The price of parts and labour has nothing to do with any of this. They'll screw you for
whatever they can get . Expect 50 - 100 % parts price increase in a year, as it suits 'em.
Labour is whatever they reckon an area is "good for". $200 , 300 , 400 ,500 . Get it ALL
in writing or you may well be screwed with Engine flush/labour and anything else that
takes their fancy. Good luck.
I use an Indy ; they charge way less and give-a-toss .

I use an independant too as they are Land Rover specialist and been around for a long time. They also support our FWD Club and so I know that if they did not do the right thing, word would get around very quickly and they would be in a bit of trouble.
I also know that when I take the vehicle down there they do everything that needs to be done and I can be confident taking it off road.
I also can talk directly with the owner and the guys who work on the vehicle. Down side is that I cant get a loan car, but then again I can walk down to the garage in about 10 minutes.  Take the road less traveled.
