Another Servicing Question!

[bummer007]

Just been reading the guide in the member's section on service intervals.

That says every 12k or 2 years, but I'm sure I've read elsewhere that it's 1 year, or is that just what people recommend on here?

Any thoughts? as I'll prob only be hitting about 6K in a year since my 36k service.

Cheers.

It's 12k or 2 years, whichever happens sooner.

Cheers, is that what most people stick to? Not sure where I got a year from...

 

[DrR]

I wouldn't leave a car more than a year personally. But i do 12k+ a year anyway So it's not a issue for me.

 

[bummer007]

Anyone else got any advice on whether it's worth a service after 1 year even though the official interval is 2 years?

I personally also would service every year. Or at least change the oil, filter, air filter, spark plugs simple things.

always after a year get a service

and personally i drop the oil every 6 months as its only £25

otherwise things start going worng

dephaser for example

Ok cheers, looks like I'll book her in at Birchdown then...gives me an excuse to go Xmas shopping in Nemo too

I would do service once a year to, but then 197 is annual servicing anyway.

 

[bummer007]

Any ideas on a rough price for this service?

Cheers

i got a quote from renualt last week they said £161. But should be cheaper elsewhere.

Change the plugs every year????

I follow the service manual mine won't be done till 72k.
