Just had my 75k service by pro sport in stockport, excellent service and not a bad price with new rear pads and a driving light realinement.
Trouble is, they stamped my book, but when I checked, I noticed that I haven't had the 67.5k service. This is totally my fault, as when I bought the car, I knew it was due. The car has done about 68.5k now, so it would have been better to have the 67.5k service, not the 75k one.
What have I missed? I checked the SIDC FAQ, but the services are not listed after 60k, so no joy there. I just need to be sure that I haven't missed a major belt change or something.
Pro sport did the oil, filter, and drain plug washer.

Hello Mate

I think that after 60k, the cycle starts over again. So, 67.5k is the same as 7.5k IIRC

Not entirely true that it starts again at 60k as cambelt (if were not doing the 60k cambelt change on later models) will need doing at 90k which is only 30k on whereas from 0miles it is 45k on basically it starts afresh after 90k service but that's of little relevance as per SIDC faq thing the 67.5k is the little un so you havent missed owt major but if it hasnt been serviced every 7500miles or 6 months i'd be less pleased about it's history (if i was looking at buying it) i wasn't sure if you were saying you'd missed one alltogether or the garage just did the wrong sized service

thanks si, but it was my fault. when I bought it, it was due the 67.5, and I forgot to have it done, doh!
then for no reason whatsoever, I got it into my mind that it was due the 75k.
so basically, up until now, it has been serviced at all the proper intervals, and all the stamps in the book are present and correct.
Just me that can't do it right.
Better look in 7.5k I hope.

gary, it was around £150 all in for the service, but I needed new rear pads, so it came to £294 with labour and vat.
Car is running sweet now though, and glad to have had the back brakes sorted, as the garage said I only had a couple of weeks left on the old pads!
The list price on their board is £137 for the 75k, + labour and vat, takes it upto around £150.
