My first service was at 2500 miles!

Yikes - why was that?  :shocked:  :shocked:  :shocked:  :shocked:

A year was up @ 2500 miles!

As far as i am aware the first service is after one year or 12k,

Wrong.  For the fixed interval 'Time and Distance', then it is one year or 10,000 miles.  For the variable interval LongLife regime, then it is up to two years or 20,000 miles.  Both these mileages apply only to petrol engines.  Diesels have longer mileage allowances.

then the dealer/you decide which service type you go on.

Agreed.  But unless you specifically ask, the stealer will just continue with the LL regime, and might actually be costing you more than if you were on T&D.

I went for the longlife service but on a max of a year on timescale.

There is no such thing.  The LongLife servicing regime is up to two years.  Or did you actually mean you are on the T&D service regime, but used the LongLife oil?

Yes T&D WITH Longlife oil.
