Hello,

I have just purchased my first Crossfire. It's done 95,600 miles and the previous owner told me it was due a service. Any advice on how I track down a local garage that can do this for me? I've been on the internet and found a couple of online places that offer to come and collect the car and do a full service for around £200 incld VAT. I'm a bit suspicious that once they get the car they may find 'lots of issues' and want to charge much more than the initial quote. (Any thoughts).

I live about 4 miles from Heathrow Airport.

Thanks

 

with 95000 miles i would say , change the oil (use only Mobil one - 0-40 it takes 9 qts,,if the car runs good and you have no codes then change the oil and drive it.
check for oil leak on the valve covers, if yes ,new gaskets ( order from needswings ) trust no one else for the correct parts Needeswings.com good luck. jim

 

This car is in the UK so postage would be a killer. It is bad enough here in Canada, that is why I buy as little as possible from the US. It is probably cheaper to buy parts over there.

 

8 quarts not 9.

 

sorry my v8 is 9 qts.
