24k Service Tappets Adjustments

[batman_robin]

Hi there, does anyone know when the tappets really need to be adjusted apart from the dealer telling you? Are there any signs that we can look out for? Just dropped my car off this morning for the 24k service and they said that they will need adjusting before they even start. Also, how do we know they have been adjusted? Any thoughts? Danny. Dan

They said that the tappets adjustment is in addition to the £560 for the £24k service (another £250)... Dan

Maybe you are right about your dealer trying to shift you a Cerbie... Just got the car back this morning, 3 out of 8 tappets require adjusting, that was 3.5 hours @ £49.50 per hour plus Vat.......my wallet was near enough a grand lighter when I walked out :0( Dan

it is every 12k that tappets need to be checked, if they need adjusting that is extra.... also after another look at the bill, they charged me £8.50 per day to use the courtesey car, a little sh!ty Justy....what a cheek after charging me over 900 big ones.... Dan

Mecca, Did they give you the schedule for reference?? If they did, do you think you can fax it/email it to me? Which dealer did you go with? Cheers, Danny Dan

Mickey, Have you actually paid for the service yet? Who is your dealer? It is a lot less than what I have paid. Please let me know! Danny. Dan
