37.5k service on my 13 month old van and checked lead times for a new one

That's a French service interval if ever there was

12.5k service intervals

Work this one out though... Same engine in an Expert (instead of a Partner), 20k intervals

TBH, as soon as it's out of warranty I'll do it myself I've already spoken to the Parts Manager today and he's agreed to give me Trade/Trade Club prices over the counter

WHAT! you had that much time between the 'eye' passing over & the storm starting again

[Elite Pete]

MOT'd the 2.2 DTi estate at the local Vauxhall garage and it passed without advisories

[VXL V6]

Replaced the passenger door lock motor on the V6.

NOTHING TODAY, and it is great!!

After two weeks of it I have had enough....................for now

Was considering washing mine...



Until I opened the curtains

Might just spray car shampoo over it and let the wind and rain do the work

How long do you plan to keep them? Age or mileage?

I imagine, ignoring cost of the van itself, the refitting is a significant cost.

If you are keeping for more than 60-80k, is it worth, even now, doing a couple of oil changes in between the serviced ones?

When got home my new camshaft and lifters for V8 turned up- fit tomorrow-take an hour

[albitz]

Made a start on cutting out holes in rear shelf so I can install Bose shelf with blind. Hopefully finish it tomorrow.Then hopefully run th Bose loom through the car to the drivers kick panel,where things will no doubt get a bit complicated.

TBH, the majority of the kit will unbolt and transfer but they will be having extra changes... Trouble is, Peugeot insist on Fully Synth 0W-30 and I'm reluctant to bin that at what they charge

I expect they'll be on the road to about 200-250k if I can keep them going at sensible cost But, TBH, they don't do short runs... They're started and run for a minimum of 2-3 hors at a time (as a general rule) and already serviced every 12-15 weeks

With fully synth and that sort of regime the mileage between services is pretty much irrelevant, IMHO.

Kind of my line of thought TBH Kevin... Glad someone else is thinking the same

Once out of warranty they'll have monthly oil and filter changes with good old Vx Although I may well still use synth instead of semi Thankfully Peugeot do Trade Club too and my local stealer have agreed to give me TC prices Just hope they're as good as Vx

But its diesel, and all the combustion particulates end up suspended in the oil.

Given that CrippleBack wants 250k out of them, I'd be slapping in cheap, fresh oil more regularly.
