I seem to remember reading somewhere that for MY10 the service indicator works like it does in most other marques - i.e. the "time to service" interval changes based on driving style so it a bit more intelligent. I don't know if that means that the 12months/15k advice will change though....

Tim,

is that how it works. Mine came on precisely eleven months after the last service giving me the 30 day countdown. After only 6k miles, maybe I had been a bit too eager with the right foot.

I thought the spanner worked on the default of the date set at the last service interval indicator reset, if the mileage hasn't been met.

Would love it to be setup according to the level of abuse it's had. Like a previous BMW I had, I had to get them to check the service indicator because it wouldn't indicate a service for nearly 18 months.

Fingers crossed for this year then.

Same here just last week....... good news though i found a LR dealer doing the 1st year service for £300 VInc !!!!!!

MAW

that's a good price for the service, did you have to wring that price out of them?

Rrsboy

Good to know that stamping your feet, makes them sit up and listen to their problems.

I haven't had to pay for a service yet due to shocking service from the dealer. 1 service from the dealer and 1 from LR. And you guessed it, the dealer is .

Thats shatstones has a better ring to it!

Could pass the whole day thinking of appropriate names for this lot.

They aint worth it the Pratstones lot!
waste of my time, crapstones

Damn, that's two of mine, have to think harder and longer.

Anchors - with a W in front.

That's my Bank Holiday Weekend sorted.

islider .... no phoned around my three locals and a wide difference..... £300 quoted striaght off ..... 30 miles the other way towards dealer in reference on this thread S..........'s, £100 more

That's interesting MAW. Worth the time spent on the phone.

The £100 more from S........s must be to cover the unique customer experience they provide.

MAW - I'm not a milion miles from you so would be interested to know which dealer you used.
