I've had this a year now, so it's time for a service. With the miles I've done I went for a full service again.
So last Saturday at work got it all done.
I drained the oil, washed out the oil filter. Filled it with oil and an engine flush, ran for 10 minutes then drained again. Finally filling it with the proper oil and a new filter, which resulted in this:
Anyone who's done an oil change on a diesel will know, as soon as you start it up it's black again, so a good flushing has ensured the majority of the old oil was out.
Swapped the tyres front to rear. Fronts were down to 3.5-4.0mm and rears 6.0-6.5mm which is good going for roughly 18,000miles. So they should last a fair while longer yet.
Off to the south of France in just over a week so a nice long run it's all ready for
I do love this car, it ticks a lot of boxes for me, looks great, handles great, goes very well, great on fuel and so good to drive.
Cleaned it afterwards.
