Ive just had a lovely service at Holdcroft, paid extra for a fuel filter (ouch!) but then started thinking that theres lots of things that should in theory be replaced but never seem to feature as service items.
specifically I'm thinking of
I've checked my last three services over 3 years I owned the car and none of these have been changed or have been raised by the technicians as needing doing. I guess most of them could just be repleneshed rather than changed, but as be brake fluid is hydroscopic, gearbox oil will break down and refrigerant gas leaks out eventually I thought they would have been addressed.
Perhaps I need to read my service book a bit more, but just wondered what fellow owners thought?
Car is a 2.2cdti tourer, manual 6-speed.
Cheers

- Gearbox oil
- Brake Fluid
- Radiator fluid
- Air conditioning gas
