cerealuk Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Just a quick one.. spoke to the dealer who has delbt with the servicing of the zed im looking to buy and they have told me that they have just done a P1 on the car at 37k miles 2 months ago and they did the P3 the year before in july 2007 is this normal as i thought P3 services were done at the 36k mile mark ? also they had no record of when the discs and pads were last done, is it likely that they will need doing soon ? the zed is a 53plate 2004 black GT with 37k on the clock at £8800 so think im looking at a good deal The RAC have said they can get in to do a full gazzilion point check tomorrow for me aswell which seems worthwhile at £230 (this includes a road test). Just want to be sure as i live 300miles away! cheers Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Service intervals are 9k miles or 12 months bud so that doesnt sound out of synch, just have a look at the book to check this out. An RAC check is always worth it IMO as it can sometimes be difficult to be objective when you want the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 services are every 12 months or every 9k, so you cant go on mileage if the pads havent been done then they should be at those miles, discs really depends on how it has been driven, the pads are known to disintergrate with age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 In theory its slightly behind the shedule if its has a P1 @ 37K in october as it means the P1 was done over 9K miles if the P3 was on schedule or the P3 was late. That said its only slightly out and would be nothing that worries me. Mine had its P3/27K done slightly late. The only thing this is really going to affect is something like the original warranty but as thats now out the window as long as its been serviced that fine.
