So I thought to myself, I know! While I have some time spare, I'll call ESB in Bolton to arrange the valve clearences to be checked.
Service was busy, so I left my number and Lorna called me back about five minutes later.
I asked about a price, she told me that the valves don't get checked until
24000 miles.
I pointed out that the service manual says 15000 to be met with flat out refusal to listen. I went on to point out that the figure of 24000 was reffereing to kilometers and explained that she may be mis-reading the info, but no. I was wrong, she knew better
Needless to say, I'm not going there again!
What worries me is that someone who is, shall we say, gullible, may believe this and loose and engine over it!
