Mandatory servicing parts and intervals

[Swagman]

Hi All,
Next Year, around March / April, I’m going to find myself a nice DB9. 05/06

So till then it’s all about research, and one thing I can’t seem to find, regardless of my search criteria, is the mandatory items that will be changed at which services.

It’s more the spark plugs and the caps that go on them and brake fluid etc, on what year or mileage are they changed, I guess the filters get changed every year?.

Does anybody have a pdf of the servicing schedule and the recommended parts to be changed at what intervals?

Thanks for any help in advance.

The list that you require may be available from someone on here but I also suggest that you look at "The Definative Guide to the Gaydon-era Aston Martin cars" at the top of page one on this forum and then purchase Grant's book. It is the best available and just £20.00!

It is, it's in the workshop manual.. it seems that the date and mileage specific items are:

Spark Plugs @ 70k
Wipers @ 30k (although not sure how they can control this) lol
AC condenser and Coolant @ 30k
Check Handbrake pads @ 30k
Brake Fluid every 2 yrs
Engine coolant every 5 yrs
transaxle oil @ 30k

Thanks for sending them to me, much appreciated.

Cool, thanks.

Brake fluid every year eh!, but I suppose the ability to stop is paramount..

On previous cars I've owned this was done every 2 years, due to the brake fluid having the potential to absorb water, but I suppose safety comes first..

I don't think the air filters need to be changed every year, unless the car is covering high mileages in dusty conditions between services. In future my 4k mile a year DB9 is going to be serviced by a main dealer every 18 months and the air filters will be changed when necessary.
