as i posted the other day

my 36000 mile service in due in 600 miles but with road tax due and insurance i aint in the money how long can i leave the service till,also the bloke who had the car before me never had it serviced, it was serviced at 25750 miles when i brought it from arnold clark.

so does that mean i wont need it doin till 43000 miles or i will still need it doin at 36000

cheers andy

in theory it needs servicing every 18k, so if it was serviced at 25k you could leave it until 43k. however from a resale point of view it would be better to get back on the servicing schedule.

i was told by my renault dealer i could leave it for a couple of thousand, so say 20k for my first service before the warranty became an issue.

how much am i looking to pay for the 36k service

You have a 1k tolerance on servicing. However you have the issue that the car hasnt been serviced till to late anyway.

Personally Id get the local garage to do the 36k service if the cars over 3yrs old or if its under that take it to Renault for £220~£300 for its 36k service.

If you go over the 1k tolerance Renault start to want a % payment for warently work which can be blamed on late servicing.
