_dg Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 I do less than 5,000 miles a year and wondered if a 12 month [full] service is really necessary. The car is certainly not getting much wear, so exactly what will need changing after 12 months of very little use? Quote

No, unless its under warranty then its yes, or you live in a dusty desert, or insist on only driving 2-3 miles each time, or use cheap oil.... The car is certainly not getting much wear, so exactly what will need changing after 12 months of very little use? Apart from aircon, drop links, track rod ends and battery, very little... :lol: If you leave your car out in all weathers, look out for deteriation of belts..... Change your oil and filter maybe every 8k instead of 5k.... The MOT will take of the rest.... *this post is Seatkid's personal opinion and not necessarily the opinion of this forum :( Quote
