no not the dentist the Service icon is popping up with the countdown, hope it does not self destruct when it reaches zero ... Is this a standard service after six months  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

I haven't heard of anyone on here talking about a service after six months

But when i took my BMW in for a service i was told that the car will ask for a service depending on the way you drive!

So if you drive hard then you get a service after six months RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

I had the obligatory window sticker with 6 month checkup scribbled in permanent marker when i picked it up, and no i do not give it a good ragging, I had 3 subarus to take that out on in a previous era

I was curious about the 6 month checkup as i had not seen anything on here alluding to other people getting it done. Maybe its an Aussie requirement due to the "more challenging" driving conditions Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

6mths ????????

My hanbook says 12mnths or 15000miles whichever comes 1st

In my case 12months - next month in fact

It is.... my original handbook and service docs were from LR Australia and for some reason, the service intervals are different from ours. They're different in the US too, I think.

I will try and find out why they have the 6 month obligatory check up down under and get back to you all. It does say check-up on the sticker, but pops up with "Service" and the countdown ticking away (not really ticking)

Thanks

i will take this one back, apparently it is 12K KM's or 6 months whatever is soonest, so that clears that one up. Thought it might be just a post delivery
thing, but apparently Sydney City Centre is a far harsher environment than
Kensington and Cheshire

Did the right thing, off to Melbourne on business for a few days and left it to the wife to drop off and pick up, one recall check and 6 month service later with a "Vehicle Enhancement Programme", it breaks down within 15 minutes of leaving the dealership "Engine System Fault" Wifey not to pleased about having to have the recovery vehicle out, better than me i say.

Its back home tonight, and will see what happens tomorrow to see if the "clean and refit temp sensor" as worked or will i get the proverbial
"blue screen of death equivalent" tomorrow Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Seems the UK is one of the few places where they don't throw in free servicing!! Bastid place.
