Some advice needed please.

My 'S' (which I've had about 2 months) is 3.5 years old now, but only done 16000 miles. The last service was done nearly 12 months ago, at 10000 miles, (the book has been stamped at 18000miles/24months).

Now I obviously want to keep the car serviced etc, so do I have the 36 month / 27000 mile service done now as the car is 3.5 years old? Bearing in mind it has done nowhere near the 27K miles yet?

I'm sure it won't hurt to mention that I now know of a number of other owners within the general Solihull area whose business will go wherever they can be sure of decent prices and workmanship.....

 

I think that I paid sub

 

my car had it's 8000mile service before it was put up for sale.......but it took a while to sell so by the time the next service interval was due 6 months later the car had not even done 1000miles!!!! and when I 'phoned the dealer's service department they said that realistically it could wait until the next service was due based on mileage but then again the car is fairly new and relatively low mileage and I am not losing any sleep over it to honest

It's having it's optional oil service at 12,500 miles in a couple of weeks
