I recently took my 99 Disco II in for the 30K mile service and was rather shocked for being charged $465 for 1 and one half hours of service that included fluid changes and 2 filters.

Am I missing something here? What costs so much??

Next question: How hard is it doing all these changes yourself and where can I go to get the information I need for the 60K change (I believe the dealer mentioned a fee of about $650 for this one).

It really depends on what you use your LR for and whether the tech does all the checks. A 30k service they should be re-torquing everything, and doing an awful lot of visual inspection. If you use your LR offroad, it will need it because things loosen up.

IMHO, non-dealer enthusiast techs do a better job of this, because they know what off highway use can do to a LR and know what to check for. Your average LR tech only knows the mall cruisers.
