Will I notice any difference?
My 4 1/2 year baby goes for it's 15,000 mile service today. Apart from feeling lighter in the wallet department, Do you think i will notice any difference?
It has been parked up for 6 months while I had a company car and soon will be doing at least 50 miles a day commute (maybe 70). The idle adjust cable needs replacing and I think the thottle cable is in need of a good lube. I'll let you all know tomorrow! |

I always notice a difference after a service, but I do often ask them to tweak one or two bits in the process anyway. Mine gets a big service tomorrow, so I'll let you know.

Maybe I wont be able to tell you.
They are keeping it in for observation. Something about getting the wrong starter cable into stock (despite the fact that I said 3 times that it was the Idle Adjuster Cable that was needed!) |
