Yes - definitely more than inflation!

By the way - nice convoy we had the other week - I should have suggested that you left the M1 with me and I could've guided you through St Albans and back to the M1 - to avoid the roadworks - Tried to catch you up to suggest it, but I got stuck in the slow lane

Yeh - I thought they had - it's all coming as a bit of a shock to me after servicing the Xsara myself - something that I'm sure I could do most of on the Zed (certainly the small work!).

Yeh enjoyed our convoy, hope you enjoyed the sound of the zorst chubsy!

More dealer rates:
Staffordshire -
Brindley Nissan of Cannock - P2 quoted me £203.95 today - a bit less than the last quote at £210!!
Holcrofts Nissan in Stoke-on-Trent - P2 quoted £270...but when I mentioned the Brinleys price they said they would price match to £205!! Now booked in on Friday
Moral of the story..Shop around!!

Don't worry Mark - the costs are still quite good compared to a lot of other brands.

As for the exhaust - It looked and sounded GORGEOUS mate. But do you currently have a problem with your right ankle/foot? It must be said that I nearly fell asleep waiting for you a few times

If you're running her in, it's 4,000revs, not 40mph

[Dr Zoidberg]

Oxfordshire, Oxford, Humphris Nissan, P1 220, P2 £289, P3 £360 - all prices are the full price including oil, brake fluid, etc etc etc. Accurate as of today (just picked my zed up!)

I thought you were driving slowly!!! I didn't want to leave you behind and then when you went in front you drove slowly.

I think it's the fact that you were worried about how much quiicker the 07 model is than 06

q

Would be interested in your opinion on Holdcroft's service as I bought my zed from them and would naturally consider them for first service.

Question - Do owners on new zeds wait for the first 9000 mile service for first oil change or change oil and filter earlier? If so at what mileage?

[Chubbs]

q

I try to do 2 oil changes every 9,000 miles.

What a ripoff Chester is, good job I'm only taking mine there for Warranty work - Abergele for me then (and with the £120 I save - a good night out on the lash! )

[RJW]

North Yorks, Malton, Atkin Motors P1 (9K) ~£118 all in. P2 (18k) ~ £200, P3 (27k) ~£120

Above prices from memory but there or thereabouts.

Thanks Rich - I suppose the P3 price is a typo?

Let me know what it should be and I'll add them (I'm thinking you meant to type £220 - but I don't want to start listing guesses, for obvious reasons!)

Also, it would make me feel easier if you could actually confirm the prices - I'm uncomfortable about listing prices that are "from memory but there or thereabouts", once again for obvious reasons.

Finally - as they are from memory, how old/new are these prices?

[RJW]

q

I will need to confirm prices when I return home from nights in the morning. The 1st service price is correct. Early Jan 2006. 27k service price is £154. That is what I paid in July this year.

Rich

[RJW]

Right here we go.
1st service P1 at 9k was £118 Nov 05
2nd service P2 at 18k was £193 Sept 06
3rd service P1 at 27k was £154 July 07

All carried out at Atkin Motors,Malton N. Yorks

Thanks again Rich - I'll definitely add the most recent P1, but I'm not sure about the P2, because the price is over a year old. - Looks like they may be quite cheap though, you lucky feller!

[RJW]

q
Cheap but the best bit is the drive there! Over the North Yorks Moor. (Number 4 is top gear mag list a couple of months ago!

Rich

[WoREoD]

Here are some prices I was quoted today for a P1 service.....

Rowstock Nissan, Rowstock, Oxfordshire: "About £220" - Wouldn't give a firm quote! Inspires confidence doesnt it...
KJM Reading (formerly Rowstock Nissan, Reading): £230
Marshalls of Cambridge: £245

Cheers!

*Cough cough*

John, when you contacted Marshalls you clearly forgot to mention your OC club membership. (See "Members Benefits and Discounts" section for details. )

[Chubbs]

q

Yup - and the Marshalls Cambridge discounts are already listed in post #1 John - a real bargain price for any club member in the South East.
