The 56k-mile big service... what’s involved?

[Nayf]

Hello gents. A friend of mine has taken an interest in this - I just wondered what the 56k service included, and what and when the next big scheduled bill might be?

Thing is most cars will be out of sinc due age rather than miles.

The list will include a fresh set of (4x) lambda sensors

Debatable if they really need changing if the sensors are functioning correctly and are not throwing up a CEL

Basically they will be in for a major service which is circa £1k at a specialist

As above it’s best to check the history to see what has been done as it will probably be all over the place, but maybe bite the bullet and get it all done so you know where you’re at. I was quoted 800 plus vat for the mileage service.

Paint match is poor on the nearside door / rear 1/4.

Needs to be on a ramp for proper assessment as at this age the service stuff is the least of your worries

I would check the potentially big ticket items, check the rear wishbones and the ball joints, clutch life. catalytic converters, electrics and heater core.

All other sercixe items are not too difficult to deal with, those mentioned above can really set you back.

As with any car check for bodywork and floor for rust or collision damage. I agree with @Gp79 in that it seems like the LH door has been repainted.

Technical cloth interiors age poorly so check if its all good, if its bad try to knock a bit off the price and have those pieces retrimmed in leather which is common practice.
