Risen from the ashes ...

Good news (budgeting wise) ... for a change!:T

When I got my new car, the service book was missing & someone made one up and sent it out.

Since getting it, I've been meaning to phone the garage as it didn't make sense to me - car was registered in March '11 & the pre-service is showing as that date but the 1st service isn't showing as being done until Aug '12 :eek: (should by 1 year or xx miles)

Worried about future issues with the gap & the 5 year warranty - you only get 4 weeks leeway between service dates and I know a few people who've had loads of hassle if outside this.

I've always assumed the 2nd service was due in March '13 and have been working to this on my budget - but was going to be short as it's a big service (£250) - and one of the reasons for just doing the car tax for 6 months (so that would need done again in Aug '13).

Have been worrying about phoning as it's now ages since I was sent this - but it was around the time I fell ill ....

Anyway .... finally got around to phoning and ..... the service book I've been sent is wrong (I know that should be a frown, but it's a good wrong:rotfl:)

The pre-inspection service was done July '11 and 1st service Aug '12 (within 4 week date) :T - even better is that the next service isn't due until Aug ' 13 :j:j which gives me more time to save up:T

I'm a bit confused as the car was def registered in March '11 - but hey-ho ... if that's what they say and they'll do me a new book

Presuming the MOT will still be due in the March date tho' .... bit confused - will need to check this when I go!

So ..... slight change of plan with the tax as I'll just do the 12 months in Feb (so it's not beside the service) .... and can relax a bit as will def have enough saved for the service by Aug!:T

I know honestly I'm so pleased / relieved as I wasn't going to have enough to cover it :eek:

The other pots in the same fund would've been there to help out but nearly everything house wise renews in May so there wouldn't have been a huge amount to play with.

Evaperation I guess but will try to post it tomorrow.

Only if you're going out anyway hun & much appreciated.

I think they do evaporate as I'm sure there was a bit left in the one I had - but it was empty . I think you're maybe supposed to unscrew them & put the proper cap back on if not using them.

Hi skint_spice - lurkers always welcome!:D

Honestly, I'm so chuffed that the service isn't due until August - funny how something like that can cheer you up no end:):o

I think you may well be right that it was pre-reg - I know dealers often have quarterly sales targets to reach .... maybe they were a few short!

Trick's going to be remembering that the MOT's due at a different time:eek: - I've never had them not tie up before!

Morning Slowly - hope today is a better day for you!
