Missing running in service evidence…

Post by Mr Tidy » Wed Aug 25, 2021 9:39 pm

I think it's all been covered pretty well already.

Personally I wouldn't be too worried about the missing details if the car is still running fine nearly 15 years later! But I'd want it priced to reflect that knowing that I'd have the same issue again wehn I came to sell.

I'm not sure what mileage it has done, but if you are thinking of getting the bearing shells replaced get them done at the same time as the Inspection 2. That way you'll save the cost of an oil filter and 5.5 litres of 10W/60 - don't ask how I know. :roll:

Yeah,I did the same mistake,chose to do rod bearing shells and bolts only 1500 miles after an Inspection 1 service (although that was a year in Lockdown, I should have planned it better too).
