Hi Manatee - am curious to see how you get on, not from a cost perspective but to see what work actually needs doing. I've got the same car - 2.3 diesel automatic - first registered in January 2015 so coming up to its sixth annual service. In prior years there's never been any mention of changing the ATF...
I'm in NZ, where servicing is annual or 15,000km. Year 4 was a bigger service - they warned me in advance - because they take off the inlet manifold and look for crud inside, so I was told by the service manager.
I've only done 8000km this year, (total mileage now 70,000km), but Mitsi offered to extend the 5-year warranty to 10 years if I stick to main dealer annual servicing! Suits me because I intend to keep the car at least 5 more years.
