Dealer recommendations

For those who have seen my previous posts, my car had it's 36 month service last week. On the Visual Healthcheck, the dealers have recommended the following:

1. Handbrake strip, clean + adjust = £194
2. Air Con service = £49 (special deal)

The car is just under 3yrs old and whilst they've said nothing is wrong and it's advisory, I'm wary of spending money for the sake of recommendations.

If either of the components ever failed, I'd assume the warranty (official LR) would cover it? Have any of you had these recommendations as part of your service? Gone: RRS : HSE : TDv6 : 57 : Java Black : Ebony : 20"

Precisely. I would have thought it was more applicable to high milers or cars 5yrs onwards Gone: RRS : HSE : TDv6 : 57 : Java Black : Ebony : 20"

You will know if your air con is still pumping out freezing cold air or not. No need to get it done if it is and you aren't getting any nasty smells. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

Tim- it was an advisory recommendation, not a fault so they couldn't claim.

RichardM - exactly what I think...especially in this weather. I think they were looking for reasons to charge Gone: RRS : HSE : TDv6 : 57 : Java Black : Ebony : 20"
