its just come up to a year of owning my roc so i was thinking about servicing! so thought id check when it needs it on the mfd and is say 118 days or 4000 miles time does this sound right?

Do i have to have a service at 12 months or do i follow what the car says to me?

i think my service plan is every 12 months or 12000 miles whichever comes first

thanks in advance folks

George

I did mine at 12 months with about 8500 on the clock. The mfd thing was pretty much spot on for the day count.

£148.

the service interval can depend on your style of driving nosreap (short journeys/long journeys etc) so don't worry but it can't hurt going in & asking

Thanks George

You are on the long life servicing plan by the sounds of it. You should only go for a service after 12 months or 10,000 km if you are on the time and distance plan.

£90 for a time and distance service for me.
