Dunno, I'm just waiting for the last green light to go out before my 2001's first Inspection 1 and its on 25700 miles, so its quite a big gap.

What are you getting, take it's not very good looking at the smiley


Cheers

I've only had it for a month so not sure but i'm planning a trip round Europe in it so want to make sure it does not need a service half way there etc!!

Alastair,

If you're driving round Europe and mostly motorway stuff, you'll get about 3k miles between green service dots. My M5 did 15k miles between servicing, but this was mostly motorway work.

You should be fine if you have 2 or 3 lights left.

Its probably cheaper getting it serviced in Europe!
