Mine came with longlife servicing from the factory and I wasn't asked what I wanted when I ordered it (I wouldn't have chosen longlife).  If your options sticker (in the boot or service book) has the code "QG1" then it came with longlife from the factory.  If it says "QG0" or "QG2" then it is set on Time & Distance.

I too have had mine serviced early at 10k and had it switched to Time & Distance and paid £97.17.

My ED30 is on longlife, however first service came in at 13,000 and the computer has just indicated that my 2nd service is due in 800 miles (about 2 weeks) at 27,500 - that works out about every 9 months!

Perhaps should switch to time & distance!

All advice i have read points towards time and date servicing for anything like a sporty car if you want to look after your car its a no brainer. T&d it should be  :smiley:
