First service time

[timmo]

My 75 2.5 Conn had its first service this week. The dealer charged for 2.5 hours labour. The sales brochure that I received before I bought the car says that there is only 6 hours scheduled servicing for the first 4 years. It seems to me that the dealer has left only 3.5 hours for the next 3 services, which, as 3rd. service seems to be a repeat of the 1st., doesn't make sense to me.
Does anyone know exactly what should be done in a 1st. service, and/or what is the scheduled time allowed? Was I over-charged?

Timmo,

Service times are as follows:

15,000 miles / 12 months 1.60hrs
30,000 miles / 24 months 2.50hrs
45,000 miles / 36 months 1.60hrs
60,000 miles / 48 months 2.70hrs
75,000 miles / 60 months 1.60hrs
90,000 miles / 72 months 7.20 hrs (includes timing belts)

Think you've been overcharged a bit!!!

12 month service is a basic filterchange and check over!

No problem Timmo, be assured, as my name suggests, that I have a very "close" relationship with MG Rover UK, and have to remain annon to avoid "employment issues".
