Serviced!

The MCS had its first inspection 2 service yesterday after 65000 miles. I wasn't expecting it to be any different at all but have to say I was very surprised.
I think it must be the new plugs that have made the difference but it feels a whole lot more lively, almost like its had the ignition advanced a little, its especially noticeable on throttle blips but its definitely pulling harder as well.
Not sure about what they've done to the tyre pressures though, the steering feels lighter but turn in is less sharp and the back end feels a little twitchy. I think they may have over inflated them, will check when I get home tonight.

All in all a good result from Sytner Leicester considering I had an inspection 2 service plus coolant change for £173 thanks to James Mowforth covering half the cost of the service. The service team were very helpful, big thanks to Katherine for looking after the car.

Inspection II will make a huge difference to a car - especially if you have relied on TLC and haven't done any interim maintenance yourself!!

If you haven't changed any parts, Inspection II will be the first time your plugs will have been changed, and also your first air filter change!!
