My cars due a service next month
Im not sure what exactly needs doing. The car is 5 years old and has covered 55k. The service book only goes upto 48months and the cambelt was done last time as it was due on age.
It had a interm service 6 months ago, which included cambelt.
Now im pretty sure it needs the following doing:
- Engine oil
- Coolant
- Brake Fluid
- Transmission/Diff Oil
- Fuel Filter
Does this sound right?

bit lost with your servicing schedule mate, what shape/year is yours?
schedule will just repeat itself (what was 6 months becomes 54 months etc) if that helps

Hang on, You've lost me...
interim service doesn't have a cambelt change (should be oil+filter)
And isn't cambelt due on the 6th year (every 3 years/45K)? Or that every 4years now??.
Coolant+gearbox/diff oil+brake fluid+fuel/air filter+sparkplugs should be every 2 years (30K)??

ah yeah but mines 7 years old and it's a 99 classic
as far as i'm aware your schedule is the same as mine (bar the cambelt being done at 4 years instead of 3 for mine) was your last service the 48 month one or what is in effect 54/old 6 month one?

I know it doesnt. But as i said going by the service book it was due one. Effectively it was due a 60k service but as the car had only done 55k it didnt technically need one. The cambelt was changed due to age not mileage.

so, you had the 48 month/60k service which should have had the cambelt, but this was done on the next service which was 54 month (old 6 month), your next service will be the same as the 12 month in the book which is :-
engine oil and oil filter change only, the same as your last except they inspect other parts on your car so it will be dearer.
PHEW!
by the way, i wouldn't leave the belt on for longer than the qouted 4 years again, regardless of mileage. not worth the risk IMHO

OK, lets try again. Look at your service schedule chart/table before all the stamps (make sure it's 4cam turbo - not the Legacy
)...look for any patterns in fluid replacements (i.e the "R"s )Mine is every 2years/or 30K (which ever is sooner) for all fluids plugs and filters. Presuming your is the same, it'll be due on every 2nd(30k), 4th(60k), 6th(90K) 8th(120K) year/miles

what i meant was you initially said you had a service done that was for 60k. i think this was your 60 MONTH service which is why you're now approaching your 90k/72 month service a year later. the 60k service was when the car was 48 months old.either way mate, sounds like you're now sorted
