Looking for LR3 Maintenance Costs - 11/19/2007 6:03:29 PM    LRLR3   Posts: 11 Joined: 11/19/2007 Status: offline Hello all! I'm hoping someone can help me find an answer to my maintenance question.  I've visited and searched this forum a few times and finally registered to see if I can search for answers - so far I was not able to find my answer.  I am looking at purchasing a used LR3 and would like to know how much maintenance costs are if I were to pay for them myself if I take my car to the dealership. Thanks! Post #: 1

(So far LOVE it, no probs) But when I was researching I came across this. It says it was published 10/15/06 and it DOES include labor estimated at $50/ hour. I dont have any direce experience to tell you if this is right or wrong, but maybe it will help and maybe someone w/ more knowledge can tell us how accurate it is. Item Name Repair Cost A/C Compressor $920 Alternator $580 Automatic Transmission or Transaxle $3,330 Brakes $540 Clutch, Pressure Plate, Bearing Constant Velocity Joints $1,450 Exhaust System $930 Radiator $540 Shocks and/or Struts $2,930 Timing Chain or Belt $1,230 (in reply to LRLR3) Post #: 2

If you are looking to buy one you would be wise to check with a couple of smaqll Rover shops instead of the dealers. If cost is the determining factor, dealers cost would keep you out of the market but a small shop or doing it your self is pretty reasonable. _____________________________ Mike Retired service manager.

How often are the intervals for the LR3's maintenance? and how much does a regular 30k, 60k, and 90k tune go for either in small shops or at the dealership? Will the 2005 V8 SE be a good buy?  Anyone who has this car and have paroblems?  I'll aim for the 2006 if I find one. Thanks! (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 4
