| Re: Serviceing The servicing is every 12 months OR 10k miles whichever occurs first. Low mileage does not mean skip service, indeed it could be a reason for more frequent servicing. Short start/stop trips are more harmfull to the engine than long ones because the oil does not usually get upto temperature.

| Re: Serviceing Cheers for that, i`ll keep it at a yearly then. I know my next service has to have a new cam belt as it will be 7 years old then.

| Re: Serviceing It should have had a cambelt at four years, two belts and two tensioners to change on your engine.
