Just had the car serviced and 2 new rear tyres today so i did a silly thing and added up how much it has cost me in service costs (ie not including tax, insurance or petrol) over the last 30,000 miles and 7 years...

Before I post the answer, any guesses?

 

£2700?

 

12 Shillings and sixpence?

 

5k

 

30k miles in 7 years? ...and I thought mine had covered little miles!

As for a guess, £3415.81

 

i'm lucky that my S2 is a weekend toy - i have a daily work horse that clocks up 15k a year...

just noticed that the stealer has quoted 0W30 grade oil in this invoice - all the previous ones are 5W40...and I bought an 5W40 top up about 2 weeks ago (which I haven't opened yet - should I change it or can I mix the 2 grades???)

 

No you should get the stealer to change the oil before it does some serious damage, or at least fecks the TCT.

And before your running costs suddenly become a lot higher.

 

TCT??

Throttle Control something??

 

Timing Chain Tensioner

 

thanks - I'll check with the dealer tomorrow as they have put the wrong grade on the invoice before now (but used the correct stuff.....)
