Tappets - What do I need to know?
Discussion
Morning all.
Took the T350 back to the garage on Saturday briefly (I have now posted a picture on my profile which I am very proud of
) to get the bonnet release catch tightened up. While I was there I asked abut servicing. I was initially told when buying the car it was four hundred per service. What I wasn’t aware of was every 12,000 miles it needed the Tappets checked, measured and re-sat. I really don’t mind paying the extra money if it’s going to keep her in A1 order, but is this really the case? Do they all require this work? If so, what is the approx price? He wouldn’t \ couldn’t quote me but it sounds like a seriously expensive job.
Thanks in advance guys.
p.s – weekend driving was amazing, even my pregnant girlfriend thinks it great! She’s obviously less of a woss than my brother

Had my tappets adjusted at David Hendry which cost me £250 extra on top of the 12000 mile service cost. It is recommended that you have the tappets adjusted every 12000 miles.
Normall service being 400 pounds plus the 250, so I’m assuming it was 650 inc the VAT and all other such good things.
