the Spyder had its first service yesterday @ OPC Reading - all perfect and sorted - no worries.

Only issues mentioned - pads down to c50% and some of the holes on the discs need clearing a little + some of the drain holes also need clearing - will DIY!

Apart from that - smile

Not bad for less than £400 in 20,000 miles I would say.

I think about 12 months.

March 2010 - but I bought it in January 2011 with 900 miles on it!

PS - go on then - best guess for the 40,000 miler . . .

Working on the basis that they will inform you that it requires discs and pads all round probably about £2k.

but working on the theory that "it wont" wink - I am sure it will be much less!!!

My Cayman S is at East London for its 4 year/40,000mile service yesterday/today. Should sneak out below £800 (having supplied my own oil). Braking system all seems fine, but tyres are down to 3mm on the front, and 3mm on the shoulders of the rears, so I reckon I'll change them after a track day next spring...

You can live in hope, but I had my 4 year service done earlier this year by a good indy and with only 28k miles covered, both front and rear discs needed replacing.
