Just got the Zed serviced - Page 2

TjP · 24-01-09, 09:58 PM

I did think about doing the service myself but it would have been a first for me, so would have taken me ages to get it all done. I may try the 5yr service myself though as I think theres less involved (off the top of my head, may be wrong).

Also with the weather at the moment, and no garage to work in, it didnt seem like an attractive idea.

At least now I know its been done right too!

Yes though, they seem to have not done the brake fluid and coolant. I reckon this is probably cause the guy quoted me from the top of his head when I went in to book it, at £220, and of course couldnt live up to the whole service list for that price. Thats just a guess but its an understandable mistake and for what I paid I think I got a good deal - 2.5 hours labour for £78 incl vat!

yes, you need your coolant changed at 60k. brake fluid was always a extra recomended every 30k or 2 years.

what about the fuel filter

Supercharged_Z · 25-01-09, 10:32 AM

i think that was 60k also.

60k was the biggest service other than the belts. so every 4 years is a big service

anyone got a service schedule? as i may attempt my service myself, i change filters and oils on tanks so hopefully would be able to manage my MG. Just need to get the bits and a servicing Schedule to tell me exactly what needs doing, oh yeh and a few days off and some decent weather!

I've got the service sheets in adobe format, I'll post it up later when I've got more time or drop me a pm and I'll mail it to you
