Martin, I had my 7th service done recently at Guglielmi's, I was on about 37k miles. I checked with Jon at Courtenay beforehand who confirmed there was noting special in terms of additional requirements, my S/C belt fitted last year should still be fine and the supercharger does not need any service work at its age or mileage. I usually get all the fluids changed anyway, including gearbox, have new plugs and get the air filter cleaned (I've got a Jetex cone on the SC). Steve

Thanks Steve all good info. What plugs do you use? Martin s

NGK Laser Platinum Premium PTR5A-10. It's what Courtenay fitted and Steve G has used the same.

All depends when all the things were last done. Brake fluid every 2 years min, BOT include it in there yearly service though. Air filter cleaned every year if a foam one, 3 years if original. Spark plugs every 4 years. Fuel filter every 10 years. Gearbox oil you can leave in for life. All the above are manufacturer minimums so if you want to do them sooner its up to you Also consider the alarm batterys if they've not been done for years
