Service Intervals

[Tuscaholic]

Still researching but have found a lovely Tuscan ...
Hopefully its coming very soon :O)

I known these cars have big services at 6,000 and even bigger at 12,000 miles but do they have a anual service as well.If 6,000 miles isnt done in a year ?

Also can someone shed some light on opening of the front servicing bonnet, what's the knack ?

Oh and why Im here is realigning the boot a big job ?

A service is required every 6000 miles or 12 months, whichever is first.

To open the front service bonnet you pull a hidden lockable lever and pop a couple of ball sockets. Easy.

Boot always sit's higher on O/S as thats the side the gas strut is on, which pushes the lid higher. Easy to re-align.

Good luck in finding a car, and no mines not for sale. This year anyway

cheers

try just pushing on it. As has been said, the strut is on one side so you push it down in the middle and the offside back tends to still be high up. Just push down on it and mine anyway, goes down another 1/2 cm or so and aligns.
