So my KL is up for her 105k service, anyone know of anything I should be watching out for? car has been serviced up untill now by the logbook and what not.


tl;dr, how much and anything special I should ask for?

Just do the std book service and you will be fine

If you want to save some $$ on parts I can help there but first make sure that the person doing the labour is willing to fit parts you supply as many places will not do this

The bloke doing it is a friend of the family, I will talk to him next time I see him.

What sorta parts would I be up for? Its cold as crap outside and I dont wanna get the logbook out of the car :P

also my dealership wants me to go back to gympie, thats almost 200km each way for a god danm service. what is the deal with warranty from a dealership, my dealer said I MUST bring the car to them for the service.

what happens if I move interstate?

105K is a regular service (oil, filter) plus platinum plugs (rear bank) will be due if they haven't already been replaced.

Depends, if they have not done timing belt etc then will be up for that as well as trans flush, coolant etc etc,. You really need to find out what has been done at the 95 as some dealers do what others dont

With your warranty, check with your local RACQ etc but pretty sure that provided you can prove the work is done that the dealership cannot void warranty especially if the fault is not related to a part serviced

I believe that you are not obliged to go back to your original dealership if it's under a new car warranty, but if you purchased it second-hand and the dealer's included their own warranty conditions, you have to follow those terms and conditions.

Sounds like you may have one of those "extended car warranties" which can be very questionable - read the fine print on the warranty and also read this link: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1562154
There are many traps with these warranties and one of them is to attempt to force you to use a designated service agent. No way I'd drive 200km to get a service and be at their mercy when they give me the bill.

cheers for the advice everyone :)

Looks like its going back to my friend of the family who runs a jax tire fitting place.
