Does 40k mean 40k?

Car is due in for 40k service but not even at 39k on clock? Will it need to go in or can it wait until 40K

Cheers

North Lincolnshire.
The car will need its service if the year margin is up,
ie. 20,000 or 2years. 30,000 or 3 years. 40,000 or 4 years, whichever comes first.
So if its done like 20,000 in its first year in which case it would need to have had 2 services.
But if its only done 4,000 in first year then wait till years up.
Get it ? Comprendi. ?

Yep I wold go on the advice given above. It will depend on when the service indicator was last reset and I'm sure i've read somewhere on here that the computer / ecu or whatever works it out does it in km.

The service indicator isn't 100% accurate. The 10k between services is more like 9500, I know this as I have seen my service 9 times :cry:

I personally get mine serviced every 10 - 11k, it hasn't harmed it in any way shape or form and it's now well out of warranty.

At the end of the day it's your car, you decide it's service interval. You don't press the Red Button when the TV tells you, do you ?:bleh:

Will leave it till closer to 40k then, got another 1k miles to go which is better on the pocket, plus only 4 / 5 months since last service.

So seat measure in km/h although the car is in mph.
:confused:Confused.lol.

I'm not 100% but I'm sure I read it on here somewhere.
I guess it coz they are designed and built in a country that uses kmh.
At least they managed to get the steering wheel on the right side for us tho ;)
