Just been to see Mr T to book a service in...the Rav is a T180 March 07 (5 and half years old) 35000 miles and 6 mths late being serviced!! :o

I was quoted standard service - Oil & filter, kick the tyres etc £139.

When I punched the details in Mr T website it said Major + service £299 plus couple extra fluid changes??

Who's right??? :o I'm confuzzed!! :(

On the 4.2 the services alternate annually between 10K miles intermediate & 20K miles major. The main thing seems to be that the services need to be done at least once a year even if the mileage hasn't been reached. So it's yr1 = 10K inter, yr2 = 20K major, yr3 = 10K inter, etc.

The 4.3 may be different mileage periods but I'd have thought that an annual service was still mandatory.

The service at that miliage is the following;

Replace engine Oil and Oil filter

Rotate tires

Visually inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs

Additional Maintenance Items for Special Operating Conditions:

Driving While Towing

Tighten nuts and bolts on chassis

Driving on Dirt Roads or Dusty Roads

Inspect ball joints and dust covers

Inspect drive shaft boots

Inspect engine air filter

Inspect steering linkage and boots

Re-torque drive shaft bolt (4WD)

Tighten nuts and bolts on chassis

I suspect it's Mr T the garage.

If your previous services were on schedule - i.e annually because of your low mileage - then your last service would have been a major at 4 years. You now due an intermediate, and six months late getting it done.

[unless you want to go straight to the next major - six months early?]
