Service costs

[idontknow]

Afternoon all, long time lurker here needing a little info.

I am viewing a GTO-3 at the weekend and I am wanting to get an general idea of the annual service costs. I have tried various searches but can't seem to find much info.

I know that answer could how long is a piece of string but i was just looking for the cost of the actual service assuming** nothing else would be needed

• i know :-)

Put away £2k per year for upkeep. Sometimes you'll spend less, sometimes you'll spend more.

Services are somewhere between £450-800 I believe depending on what else needs doing at the time.

Thanks, my initial thought was ~ £1.5k per annum for service and 'contingency'

the problem is that you WILL start modding it. and once you do it never ends and it gets expensive.

Hi Andrew , basic service at Jetream Motorsport is £250 + vat and a full service is £500 , should be done once a year or every 6000 miles .

Let's not get started on upgrades yet

Tux, is it possible to hang around whilst the work is carried out?

[JBliss]

i would imagine so!

Thanks guys.

Tuxman, What's the difference between the basic service and the full service, I'm working on the principle that you'd need a full service every year??

Hi Andrew not sure mate , probably best if you contact Jetstream for all the details , contact Matt on
[e-mail]

Or call them on 0116 279 9339 ,

No such thing as a basic service Simon!

Every time without fail Matt casually shows 'one' something made of carbon fibre or some cool headrest or something that 'one' can't leave without buying!!!
I find him an expensive man to be around

You will need strong will power too just service a Noble once you start too see others rear clams aloft all them shinny bits are so tempting. "kid in a sweat shop syndrome"Is usually diagnosed after meeting other Noble owners .As long as you keep away from Essex and Market Deeping areas you can usually stave off this syndrome for afew months of ownership but very few ever last more than afew months .

I usually spend around a thousand a year on servicing and replacing the common flaws. I've had to do coolant hoses, floor & fuel pump wiring. The rest has been out of want rather than need (wheels, HIDs, LEDs, IC, 044 pump, remap) which obviously is in addition to that cost.

If only it was that simple!

Yip - take it to Jetstream. Put a blindfold on when you arrive and don't look at anybody elses cars/mods.

Yes indeed it WILL get expensive.

And don't expect to get it back at the other end if you decide to sell.

I've avoided modding mine for well over a year. Done by spending money on other cars haha.
Even though I self serviced last may, i spent over £3k in parts.
Manifolds and 2 tyres being theain culprets but as I was doing it anyway I replaced some old heat shielding, wrapped the exhaust to protect it a bit more (fingers in ears-not a mod) replaced some water pipes and the turbo oil return pipes.

Soon ads up. Hopefully this may will just be oil and filters though!

i have run a number of Lotus over the last 10 years, very used to the temptation to 'tinker' and upgrade
