Hi All!

Does anyone no if you can have a low mileage service? My car is due for its 1st service but its only done 2800 miles.

Was told by someone that they had a low mileage service done on there Type R.
I know its Honda but just wondered if Ford did it?

Thks for feedback

I would still get it serviced at 12 months or coz it helps when selling the car in the future etc....

Hiya,
Use to work at a big ford dealer and they do a small service after around 1000 miles. Tbh think all they do is a oil change. They keep it hush hush and dont tell customers about it try and save on the cost cuz as far as i remember its a free be. But obviously your 1st proper service at 12 months or 12,ooo miles will cost you. Hope this helps mate.

Its not just to help selling it Richie the warranty is voided if the car isnt serviced with 1 year of purchase. Some dealerships do this 1,000-1,500 check up but its no more than a visual check and a chance to raise any niggly points. The service is when fluids are changed. The trouble with it being free is Ford have told them they dont have to offer it anymore so a lot dont, but you lose nothing from asking! My dealership still do this check but they charge!!!

Yeh I did think it could affect the warranty as well but wasnt sure so never mentioned it...cheers though as you clarified it for me

hi pal,
my burning question is how come you have only don 2800mls in your
in one year?, thats worrying i mean to say i hope your not scared of
it, just get out there and make a point, you have an and get
clocking up the miles.i hope its not just for going out in once a week
orgoing to the shops and back ha,ha,ha,ha.

Thanks for the feedback all.

And the reason i only have 2800 miles on it iceman is because i also have
a SUZUKI GSXR600 K4 which i assure you is also a lot of fun to ride.

My only had 181 miles on it wen brought from dealer at 6 mths old

You will have to have it serviced as a proper 12 months service as you will void your warranty.
Take it to Rapid fit though as it costs half as much as a dealer service does and they use the same parts!!!!
It's very important to get the correct oil in.

Whats extremely important is that genuine Ford parts are used. When people say you can get your serviced anywhere and keep the warranty, the one thing you must make sure of is that genuine Ford parts are used otherwise if you go to claim a warranty item they'll say the correct parts werent used so that's why X, Y, Z is wrong.
