I've just had my 2006 QP in at McGrath's for some work on the brakes. While there, I had a chat about servicing the car. It's due its annual service. Though, it has done few miles in the 12 month of my ownership. Maybe 2,000 max and most of those during two trips over to France with long, languorous cruising the norm .
Anyway, I asked their chief mechanic Paul about the service and he told me that it really wasn't necessary. Furthermore, he said that a light will illuminate on the dashboard when the car itself decides that a service is due.
The car was fully serviced last October. Just before I bought it.
Now, I could toddle downstairs and get the manual out. Or, I could be a real man and ask you lot for an opinion. First of all, does the 2006 QP have a 'service' light? Secondly, as she does so few miles, come resale time, would a biannual service be detrimental? She's covered 35,000 miles total.
