Hey All,
Anyone know whats involved in a minor service for my 2.5 2002 M12?
Whats the best oil etc.
I'm gonna give the car to the guys that looked after my Porsche, but they've never serviced a Noble before & theres not much in the handbok that will help them.
Any advice, much appreciated.
Cheers
Jay

Swindon, Wiltshire.
The nearest Noble place is West Tuning at Thruxton, the guys I use are Steve Bull specialist cars in Devises who look after all our cars & have done for years. They are very competent mechanics & it suits me from a travel point of view to continue to use them.
Cheers

I think if I had just bought a car that I knew little about I would take it to main dealer that had a good reputation, get a full service and the once over.
