Look at the service schedule for the 54K service and do that. It's in the BA Guides section at www.club323f.com

So pedantic - if you can find a 100K service schedule, use that

quite.... In the 1.5 my service schedule was: Every 5000 miles - Washer fluid Has the engine run out of oil? Are any of the tyres flat? does the car feel shagged? if the answers to the questions were no - then that was my service done

yeah, every 5000 miles is a bit overprotective of the car... although every 5000 i do most of them things, but not usually 'expensive' and unecessary things like fuel filter etc, mainly just checking everything |

i would agree that 5000 seems to often but i have heard that this is a good regular service interval. even on brand new cars its best to do this, even though the manufacturer says every 50 million miles! ok a bit of an exageration but best to keep everything working and happy, coz you know you will be stuffed when it breaks! |
