Potential new AM owner looking for some advice on essential factory service fixes please.

Considering the 06 AMV8 , here but want to ensure any factory fixes have been applied. Have tried searching best I can and came up with following, but wondered if there are any more I should be questioning ?


"A factory service ‘fix’, included oil additives / modified oil, a change to the selector cables and selector arm, but at best, I think the ‘bulking’ feeling was only lessened"

Good point.

However are there any fixes that may have taken customer negotiation rather than AM stump up a fix for all cars. I've experienced this with other marques, so assume there may be some with AM ?

For example the one I mention in 1st post, was this a recall item that everyone has fixed ?

I'm not worried about petty small fixes, but more the ones that AM drivers class as must haves

Thanks in advance

Dave.

Thats a very nice looking car. Similar to mine, you may wish to ask if it has the "Premuim" sound system though. All of the points already mentioned had been done on my car when I picked it up from Grange.
Don't think it does have premium sound system, which is a shame, but the 1 owner , low mileage is offsetting that for me at the mo.

Thanks Guys, much appreciated.

At least some of the numbers don't look too frightening
