yep better be safe than sorry

I see you have the anwer to the question already. As I understand it the 1500 mile check up is at the discretion of the dealer as to whether they want to offer it or not. It is not a Ford requirement. As my dealer offered it I thought I might as well have it done.

Tyres and oil is all I check.

same here guys !!!

My local Staines dealer offered me the free check-up, even offered for me to watch!!

Hi Guys,

Whats the general reaction to the dealers when you mention sites like broadspeed etc, have you had good deals? or have they laughed at you and asked you to leave?

Thanks for reading

Most start blathering about grey imports, differing specs or not being shown as the first keeper of the vehicle on the V5. The last bit is true from some of the cheaper suppliers, but if you are saving say a grand off RRP will it cost you that in it's value when it comes to trade in time? At the end of the day the number of owners shouldn't effect the value of a vehicle, but it is used against you to beat the price down with regardless.

Some suppliers though actually are main dealers, on the Civic Type-R there are some good deals to be had from what is actually a Honda Dealer in Solihull.

"That's what the warranty is there for! I never lift the bonnet. If it breaks then they can blimming fix it and there is no chance of them blaming me. I do check my tyre pressures though."

That's re-assuring to read. I like the cars but can never be arsed to get under the bonnet and tinker away with it. Always then makes me feel a little guilty that I'm neglecting the car, and particularly moreso when I get the ST, but if others don't as well that cheers me!
