| Inspection 2 - £400??
Hi all
BMW have just told me that because my car is at 50,300 miles, my TLC pack is no longer valid. (the service interval was -200, I should have taken the car in a week or two ago!!!!)
They told me that they would charge me £400 for the 'Inspection 2' which seems outrageous. I have declined the quote and am going to collect the car after its MOT (don't ask me why I asked them to MOT it, I should have gone to my council's MOT centre, I'm an idiot).
My question is:
Is it worth buying one of the MINI service CDs off of ebay and doing the job myself? I'm a pretty competent mechanic and have no problems with getting my hands dirty. The only problem I can see with the DIY route is that I won't be able to reset the service interval indicator.
Also, BMW said that the brake fluid needs changing. What type of fluid are people on here using for their general day to day driver? It's not synthetic or anything funky like that, is it?
As always, thank you for the advice and comments.
