Service

[Mat C]

My mate who run the Maxd Car club also has hs own garage so i always get a good deal from him ! Must say though, that this time around the car sounds smoother and has more of a howl charecteristic about it than ever before !

The pollen, fule filters and plugs are 60K service but each to there own. The main things are the oil and air filter for the 45K. Thats all you need really.

My mistake, it does say 7500miles, i was looking at the rover 200 haynes manual the other day for somebody else and it says 6000..

Unless it's one requiring a belt, I do my own.
Oil changes generally every 7-9K, doing 900 a week, I'd be doing an oil change every month or so If I did it more often. Incidentally, if you change your oil frequently, you can safely do oil filter every 2 oil changes, saves a little on time/mess/money.

Need some advice please.......

Bought me car on the 18/10/08 with 23836 miles on it.

It has just went on 25700, so I am not doing loads of miles. Now I have heard mixed opinions on service intervals should I get it done every 3,000 miles (oil and air filter) or 6,000 miles or every 12 months??

I am doing about 10 miles too and from work, never hitting the motorway all through back roads and streets so its not getting any real heavy use.

I'm thinking of 6,000 miles my self what do we all think??
