Default $500 at the dealer - What would you get?

I have ended up with a $500 voucher to use at the dealer, I am thinking of trying to pick up some maintenance parts but what ones I am not sure.
The car has a new cooling system, new tensioners, new plugs so the basics are covered. I have air filters and oil filters already so what would be on your list?
Otherwise Lego Defender and other toys are inbound!

It all depends on you whether you choose to use the $500 voucher at a later time. With thst you can buy a lot of things at the parts dept.
I have these (base part not included). You can use these either on the Car Seats

All $500 has to be spent in one transaction. Although it is my daily driver I dont have to suit up every day now.
I do need to get a couple of the stupidly expensive caps for the door pull handle screws, other than that I am thinking of what could be hard to find service items in the future. I did look up Diff oil on SNG, F-Ing hell that stuff is expensive! So is the Jaguar transmission oil so I am hoping my mechanic has equivalent at a better price or all $500 could go on just that!

Diff oil and transmission fluid are not made by JLR. It will be much cheaper to get them somewhere else. I just find the JLR spec or search a bit on the forums for equivalent fluids.

Diff oil is expensive but you only need one bottle. Motul Gear 300 will do the trick and is 1/3rd of the price.
Re: transmission, make sure to have a ZF specialist do it. They generally flush the cooler / torque converter on top of the regular gravity flush, which means a much larger portion of the oil is renewed (90% vs. about 50-60% with a gravity flush).

Oh and back on the original topic, you can get metal shift paddles for a couple hundred $. They're useless but good looking.
