    Conclusion:

    we had been quoted a price for a 4 year service which is recommended by Peugeot - the biggest service that they do. We are going for a lower level service (level 3) but could have actually gone down to a very basic one for £99 without invalidating the warranty.

    It's just a shame that the dealership servicing dept didn't explain that yesterday, and I had to contact head office to find out:(

    But....a happy ending. Thanks to all those who took the time to respond.

    It's not that many years ago that cars used to have a 6 month / 6000 mile service interval.
    My boss used to own an Evo that was 4,500 mile intervals with new tyres and brake pads every 2nd service, averaged about 17mpg and ran it on super unleaded. :eek:

    Bristol street. Oh dear.

    My sister bought a Focus from them some years back. I had to insist on the mechanic coming out to the car with the keys after taking it in for a repair to be told it was a dodgy coolant cap.

    Engine was cold, he said it had been parked for at least 2.5 hours. I opened the coolant cap and hissss..... Tried to say that was normal.

    I said show me any other car that does that with a cold engine.

    Headgasket had gone..
