First service...
« on: 30 August 2008, 12:17 »
What mileage have you guys been showing on your first service..? As I am now at 12k and still no service countdown lights etc (still on original front boots too  :wink:).. I've heard 9k and also heard of someone having 18k.. So what have you guys found iy comes it at (obviously depends on how the car is driven town/motorway etc)..

I had the first service at 8900 miles. I'm on T & D servicing but still have the long life oil put in. :cool:

I must admit that I'm disappointed in you Ben - 12K and still on your first set of boots :rolleyes: Then again this maybe why I need a new clutchpack :lipsrsealed: My first set went on at just over 9K :evil:

ignition on, seat belt in, hold zero trip button in for about 5 seconds or so to give miles or time to go mate  :smiley:

Thanks for that Phil.................. My car was set up for 2 year/long-life, but why is it telling me my service is due in 3600 miles (it is 11 months old now, and has done 9500miles). Surely the service is due around 22-24K and in October 2009 ???

Is it because of my 'maybe a little fast' driving style, so the car is basically needing a service earlier than someone who just poodles around in it?
