I had the service pack on my Mini which I used all of because A) I did the miles and B) I had the car 6 and a half years. Took a service pack on my Type R, only had the car 16 months so was a waste really. Didn't have a service on my E88s, not sure why really. Had the car 5 years so would have used it but I didn't get it and it was one thing I did regret not getting. The Z'd has a service pack with it. Just means I don't need to think about it really. Just pop it in and it's covered.

When was it increased to a three year interval? My 2010 says every two for the brake fluid so every two it will be.

I'm off to have a look at the service book now!

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

It doesn't say in the service book you will need to check the cars OBC. Mine says brake fluid at 3 years which is daft as I've just had the Zed serviced and will mean taking it in again just for brake fluid change and will probably be charged more than if it had all been done together.

All new cars have the three year first brake fluid service for some reason, VW is the same. First brake fluid after 3 years, then every 2 years.

Gives a nice warm glow doesn't it? Although it did feel like I was sneaking out without paying!

Yes it does. Even better when they try to charge you and you can say it's covered under the service inclusive :thumbsup:
