I'm not terribly sure as to which is better but I'd rather err on the side of caution........ spare-parts cost more than servicings.I checked with some of the members on the forum in another thread and after reading what some had to say, had my car serviced when it was about 6000km. It'll go in again for the BSRI service at 10000 km.</blockquote>
