Service record after the 8th year.

[davidexige]

Just had a look at my service book and there's no where to record services after the 8th year, which seams a bit strange, so what's to be done after the 8th year, can Aston supply supplementary pages? Or do all cars self district at this point.

No, they dont self destruct. They do turn into a pile of white powder. So it's more like a cremation in that you can put it on your mantle piece in an urn.

I'm doing an offer at the moment if anyone's interested

Sorry, David, askjockman is under maintenance at the moment

I think the dealer simply adds some more pages
Along with a natty little wallet to put the remains in that clips in to the service book for safe keeping

they should have got the service book from Volvo when they got the navigation ...it goes up to 250K miles as standard

I was told (rightly or wrongly) that your only option is to buy a new owners manual from AM. Instead, I have created the pages for the 9th plus years and added them to the original (the manual comes apart easily so that you can insert them).

If anyone wants copies of the files (so they can print them out) let me know.

AM now do supplementary pages to go beyond the 8th Year. I got some from my dealer (Harwoods), who fitted them in the service book for my DB9 for the princely sum of £7 plus VAT.

Is it just me that thinks that is so completely pathetic?
I mean really! Couldn't they just give the pages away FFS.
It's their fault the service record pages don't go up to a reasonable age. The fact that they've got to retrofit pages to the manual is short-sighted enough. To seek to charge the customer to remedy is beyond belief.
Next they'll be charging for the paper they print the invoice on.

You'll probably find they already do that ;-)

Have any of you noticed that you need to have all the airbags replaced at 10 years?

Just like all cars everywhere as I understand - it's the same as a use by date on a can of soup... just the usual "we can't guarantee after certain date etc etc".

Totally agree......mind blowing stupidity .......that will irritate the hell out of me if my dealer tries to charge me £7 for a page supplement

X1 - I do a round trip of 600 miles for a service in large part to avoid this sort of utter c---p from dealers- they think we are mugs
