Well it's come to that time :( time to fork out for the 40K service (thank god for horners 10% discount ) It's almost the end of warranty time, are there any suggestions on what I should get the techies to check??? Better getting it checked now so the warranty can cover costs (well i've had a years trouble free motoring which is a first in any of my cars so hopefully all will be groovy)

Shouldn't be more than 250 notes. If you're doing 40k a year I assume you're getting paid to drive it in some way anyway ...

The things they should check should be in the service schedule really at 40k. It's not really a high mileage yet.

I don't do 40k a year!!! :eek: I have only done 10K bought the car second hand form a dealer

Oh I see .... apologies.

Well the other parts apply - it shouldn't cost that much, and it's not a high mileage so don't worry too much

Mine was

Brake fluid is usually time related rather than mileage, i.e. every 2 years regardless of miles. It absorbs water over time which is why it is replaced, not anything to do with "wearing out".

:cheers:

Mine was

Done brake fluid three times

Okay two were botched...

40k is not to bad. If the car is healthy of course

Little or nothing out of the ordinary on mine, 50k in a month or so, after 60 I'm expecting costs to go up...but thats old school grannys rumours kicking in.

80k is the biggie - cam belt ... :(

Nick (73k miles and counting ...)

Was going to do it at 60k, If I keep the car....

Shouldn't that have included brake fluid?

It should have, but it didn't. Thats why soon after I replaced pads and fluid myself (well technically speaking k did it ).
