My Tam is almost a year old but she's only done just over 2,200 miles. Should I have her serviced now or wait until she's done 6,000 miles?

The handbook says 6000 miles OR 1 year so it's ready for fettling in September, or you'll lose any warranty.

Edited to add - Get the bloody thing driven!!

Edited again to add - Oops, beaten to it!

If they did the first oil change at 1,000 in September then shirley he doesn't need to get the 6,000 mile service done until September 2005??

BTW, I suggest getting the car out and driving it! At 2,200 miles its hardly run in. They get faster with miles

But is it 1 year from the last service or 1 year from date of purchase?

Mine had the 6000 at 2000 miles on its first birthday.

Since I've had it it's in twice a year and is running much better.

Hummm, get some mileage on it, mine is now at 6800 and improving more than ever. I think the servicing is surely every 12 months based on last service or 6000 miles! Mine is coming up for 12 months and its had 2 services already!
