Servicing is every 9000 miles so which service was stamped in your book last time?

I will have to check that, but surely after having it a year it is due a service? What is the normal amount of time?

It will be either the 36,000 mile or the 45,000 mile that is due, which was your last service 27K or 36K ?

The 36K is a minor service, I've just had mine done and supplied the oil. The service cost was reduced from

Will they still stamp the service history? The last one was the 36k service.

Yes they should do.

It will mean you don't have a full dealer history, but that doesn't concern me too much. My local garage told me he would have done my 36K service foraround

Blimey, that is a difference. I will have to see if I know anyone around here who can do it. I know their is a good deal on oil at costco at the moment....how much do you think a garage will charge?

It all depends on which brand of oil you use. I used Motul in mine, a very good synthetic oil.

It costs around

Services are every 12 months or every 9000 miles, whichever's sooner.

Cool, so I think the every 12 month applies to me, I only do weekend driving in it but think its due a service.

I may go into my local honda as after a f**k up with something else they owe me a discount on my next service....lets see what they can do for me.
