nickfrog 9 Report post Posted November 6, 2014 £16.5k for a Oct 12 car with 10k miles from a Scooby dealer. White manual with cloth and no nav. 1 question : they are doing the 2nd service. Apart from oil and brake fluid, what else should they officially be doing as part of the scheduled maintenance at that mileage ? Anything ? Thanks.

rob275 1817 Report post Posted November 6, 2014 Hi Nick, welcome along and congrats on the best colour and awesome price! Cheapest one yet I think? With regards to service, nothing else out of the ordinary I believe. I'm sure someone will correct me though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted November 7, 2014 The thing that dealers can miss is that the diff oil needs to be changed every 20K. Make sure they've done it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for all the warm welcomes btw. What are the stickiest tyres available in oe size if you exclude the AD08 which might be a bit extreme in the wet ? Or are they ? I would have liked Supersports but they don't come in the right size sadly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted November 7, 2014 Start your insurance before you pick the car up. You should be able to tax it online instantly. Surely as long as you tax within a day of buying the car, you should be alright I would have thought. Ask at your dealer as you can bet everyone asks that!

rob275 1817 Report post Posted November 8, 2014 f1's are ok, but for the track there are better performers for the same price imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nickfrog 9 Report post Posted November 8, 2014 Sorry FN it was pretty obvious lol. You did well at that price. I missed that one clearly, must have been a long way from down South. Did you buy privately ? Back to tyres : is anyone running AD08Rs ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted November 8, 2014 AD08R's are more for the track than the road. A high end road tyre will be better on our wet roads particularly so with the temperatures dropping. I run Advan Sport V105's 94Y. They are good in the wet and dry. They handle track abuse well too. Also Contisport Contact 5's, which I might try in the spring. F1's good for road, soft on sidewalls though but not so hot on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I called up the next morning and snapped it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
