Beep

[MrAbramovich]

Hi guys, now added an Aston to the fleet AMV8

Very happy with it, just one thing though

every time I start the car after about 30 seconds there is a fairly loud beep, it never used to do this but I had a poke about with the buttons and now I've got this beep

also, car is 06 with 8k miles, what service is due and what cost should I be looking at

cheers

No idea what the beep is. Any other clues? (Messages on display, lights etc???). Are you wearing your seatbelt?

Service? 3rd annual. 820GBP I've been quoted from a main...

[MrAbramovich]

Cheers Murph

yes it's due a service but it never beeped when I first got it until I poked about with some buttons

just can't work it out, one beep, deep in tone ??

3rd party Bluetooth device?

[MrAbramovich]

Arrrrr yes that could well be it as it has a Nokia kit in it

Also booked in for the service at Stratton Motor Company

How much were you quoted out of interest?

[MrAbramovich]

Na the dealer wouldn't go for that but i did save £450 on my last service after a 5min phone call with the main dealer which was far better in my pocket than there's !

yes why not............the aston dealer wanted 22.98 per ltr.....you can buy the identical oil at Costco for £6.03 x 12 ltr is a saving of £203.40 ......better than a poke in the eye

I wonder what would happen if(in the unlikely,but possible event)you had an engine problem linked to a lubrication issue and needed the warranty to cover it.....

Could be an excuse for AM to wriggle out of the claim.

[michael gould]

Just had a warranty claim .....no problem.......I did supply the recomended oil not Halfords budjet special !
