A local land rover specialist said it would be $500-600 for a full service tune up on a 95 discovery with a 110k. Is it worth it?

No, find out what he is going to do and do it yourself? Save over half of that amount!!!
Champion Spark Plugs - AutoZone - $12.64 for 8
Set of Wire Calbes - Motorcars LTD - $37.99
Distributor Cap - Motorcars LTD - $16.89
Distributor Rotor - Motorcars LTD - $5.74
Fuel Filter - Motorcars LTD - $15.00
Timing check on Distributor - Independent Shop - $45 - $75
All of the above = ~ $135.00 in parts.
Everything is pretty easy to do yourself, if you have the timing equipment is even better, I don't so I had to pay.

I did it myself and bought only a few parts through the dealer (filters, wires, cap and rotor for 120K service) and bought the other stuff through discountbritishparts.com You’ll save a lot of money doing it yourself and learn a great deal about your truck.
