S/C isolator/coupler
I had the dealer replace the original plastic cooling pipes, and they indicated the water pump was weeping so they replaced it
Consumables: tires, brakes, spark plugs, brake fluid, diff fluid, wiper blades, TPMS sensors, one headlight bulb…
(Coolant was changed when they changed the cooling pipes)
Haven’t changed the transmission fluid yet.
My car was early (S/N 26xx) so there were a number of TSBs to fix little things.

seems pretty good. I got the whole aluminum kit for the coolant. Just waiting to install it

My dealer had no issue at all in changing the fluid in my S-Type a couple of weeks ago. That is a 4.2 litre V8 with the ZF 6 speed. Yes, the transmission is somewhat different but the process is not. I supplied the OEM transmission sump cover/filter and the ZF fluid.
I say this because there may be another dealer willing to do the work if you cannot find a ZF friendly shop.

Cool.
Am at 65k and hope to get to 200k.
These are Bosch/TRW/LEAR/ZF cars. Pretty much handmade with robot helpers on a line in England. The suspension is LR spec tough. In the real world on real roads, they are plenty quick and oh so beautiful to look at when you stop for a coffee or something. They are easy to live with as a daily yet are exotic - I consider mine a pragmatic supercar. I can get my huge suitcase into it and could never do that with a 911. Simple but important.
The coolant pipes, s/c coupler, and wear and tear are what you need to do...all of this is pretty normal and for a supercar (my brain) actually really cheap if you find an indy - they are reliable. Around here labor rates are all the same, so parts prices make the difference. It is shocking how expensive cars are these days so keeping one of these makes fiscal sense too.
Not sure how to say this, but there is a brilliance in the JLR design team that never gets the attention it deserves imho. Fun at normal speed. Tough in real world roads. Able to go from sedate to beast mode...a real two cars in one. And just beautiful beyond anything else out there at really any price (I'd take a singer and a few others too, so say under 250k dollars).
