First Service - anything to look out for?

Car (RRS HSE 3.0 MY2014.5) in for its first service this week.

so, anything I should be on the look out for when having the first service?
I saw the recent news item on a recall for the security issue (doors coming open in travel) but heard nothing from JLR or seen anything on the forum - did this not apply to the UK cars?

Tank slosh already cured, no sign of a fix for the tailgate gap and still have a squeak on the front drivers side under braking and turning (NFF when taken in to dealers for investigation).

I took out the pre-paid service plan when I bought the car, as it seems reasonable value against dealer costs for service.

Cheers, Colin Colin

My biggest worry would be the dealer washing the car with a gritty sponge after service .

so, service done, the recall fix was applied (door latching issue) and car was washed without any scratching - mentioned when booked in and advised them that my Blackvue was active and recording (video & audio). Quite entertaining to watch back exactly what was done.

Still has the issue with the squeak/grind noise from front driver side (brakes/suspension ???) not been able to pin it down so they're taking the car for a few days to do more in depth checks. Colin

My first service done last week. Key fobs replaced and updated security software apparently. Also, surprisingly, a replacement header tank fitted? there was a faulty batch, so I'm told.
Otherwise great. The replacement seat cover have settled in perfectly.
Just can't resist driving it.

P.S. to my previous. The system did not warn a service was due. I booked at 16000m.
Is it still a feature in the car?

I got a notice in the centre of the dash - service due - about 4 weeks ago, not based on mileage (only done 8K) but the fact that it's a year old on 1-9-15 Colin
