There's no excuse for not having a car (or anything else) serviced at the scheduled mileage or time interval. Period.

Sorry.
 
Doesn't the Ejoke come in a 2 litre pop-pop....Another reason it isn't a Range Rover....2 litres, that ain't enough to pull the skin off a rice pudding.....as they say!
 
Anyone who gets into his car every morning starts it up, takes it for granted, drives it for 28000 miles and not once checks the oil level can only blame himself for any fault.

Which as yet is still a presumption, he has not said he has never checked his engine oil.

How patronising, he has stated he mistakenly thought it was 21,000 miles OR two years and the car is not yet two years old!

28000 miles and my incorrect understanding was that it need to be done either at 21000 miles or two years. This was my fault.

plus letting it go over by 7,000 miles on the service schedule is going some

Assume a service reminder would come up on the display , don’t think the op has any recourse

Even if there was a warranty I’d imagine that would have been null and void as well because it wasn’t serviced as per requirements

Alas is a shame but because of that I can’t see JLR coughing up for a new engine

Range Rovers for at least 17years, possibly longer as I don't know about the P38, have a display on the dash which shows when your service is due and how many miles overdue , if you allow it to go over. The op can try to wriggle as much as he likes, about 'was it 21000 miles or two years', his vehicle told him, every time he started it, how many miles to , and ghen how many miles overdue, service it was.

Not on the P38. There's a light for just about everything else but no service light. The later Discos don't even have a dip-stick. Don't know about his model.

Just checked and it has a visible 'Service Interval Indicator', as it is called. Oooooo get them rolling-on-the-floor-laughing.png

The P38 does have a service lamp function selectable in the BECM. But it is only used for the US market. The bulbs for that may also be missing from the instrument binnacle in the UK.
 
Hi

For what’s its worth, mine still has a dipstick along with a service reminder display , indeed as @Grrrrrr rightly says the D4 doesn’t have a dipstick, done via the instrument panel

As @wammers says, it's an option, but you might need to delve into the instrument pack. Now that's my kind of car. Its interval is 50,000 miles lol.
