Default First service

Just a quick question to see what the garage are meant to replace, they've changed the oil and oil filter (due to nice new clean filter being visible and new gold coloured oil) but they've not replaced the air filter, is this supposed to be changed for the 9000 mile service?

Cheers
Sii

I assumed (mother of all f**k ups) that they would do the usual ...

Oil filter - check
oil - check
air filter - erm, nah, it's still as hacky as last time

nobody else had a first service then ... .

The schedule should be stated in the Owner's manual.

There may even be a section in the Technical FAQ....have you checked?

Cheers for the info lads, I was stuck at work on my blackberry and unable to check my owners manual or the FAQ, it's put my mind at rest a little.

I was kind of expecting Honda to make a balls up, they're meant to be terrible according to some on here (The Newcastle branch anway)
