Whats in a service?
by FronteraGirl on Sat Nov 20, 2010 9:42 am
My truck is having a full service at some point in the near future, just wondering, what should be done? As far as I know it hasn't had one for the last couple, ok, about 4 yrs, but prior to that was serviced regularly.

Does really depend on which garage you go to and what they offer as part of a package. A lot of garages offer different levels of service for vehicles.
Here is a good guideline from the Good Garage Scheme

Just remember these are checks and they cannot stop you driving your vehicle away afterwards, its not an MOT test, but they do cover some of the things that are needed for the MOT to give prior warning.

Also gives the specifics in the service book. If you haven't got yours, I could scan a copy of mine if this would be of any use?
There are only 2 tools in life: Gaffa tape and WD40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the gaffa tape, if it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
