first service

[jesus]

my car is a 2003 1.2 16v, never been serviced afaik so i need to get it done. it has 52k on the clock.

what do i need to ask for and how much would be a good price, do you all reckon?

all replies appreciated, cheers

52k and never been serviced ?? You've had the oil changed though ??

 

[rich-6]

do you all reckon?

Your engine will be fucked, 52k i bet your oil is :dapprove:

It will need all the filters
Oil (poss slightly thicker now)
Plugs
Belts
Poss new brakes (must have had pads at least once)
and a good look around it other bits will pop up

have £500 spare

For reference, here's the link to K-Tec's service for a 1.2 on 36k...

Guess it won't be too much different to that?

oil and plugs can't be that much of a hard job can they? could i do this myself?

it's had new brakes a few months ago when it was in at renault

As already said please tell us its had an oil change?

of course it has haha, i've only had it a year. i know it's a bad thing not having it serviced and whatnot but i didnt know that a year ago when i bought this as my first car

 

[cat171]

Does it have no service history etc with it ?

 

[jesus]

if it did i wouldn't be asking about it's first service

 

[Pettsi]

Meoow!

Best just to book it in at a specialist and tell them to do what they think needs doing!

 

[Ben.]

not far off your cambelt either

 

[jesus]

yeah i was hoping to get the whole works, belts and everything

any rough ideas of a price for that?

cheers

 

[Pettsi]

Belts on a 1.2 are about £300> plus everything else that needs doing.

 

[jesus]

doesn't sound too unreasonable, cheers pettsi
