Preventative & Scheduled Servicing
Suggested Preventative Servicing
This section provides a list of suggested preventative servicing measures based upon owners experience particularly of higher mileage cars.
| Miles | Kms | Action Type | Action | Notes | |
| 50k | 80k | Experienced | ARB bushings | Inspection & based upon usage and feel | |
| 50k | 80k | Mandatory | Rear suspension bushings | Inspection & based upon usage and feel | |
| 80k | 128k | Preventative | Vanos seals | Based upon high rpm power loss or tell tale noises! | |
| 70-100k | 110-160k | Preventative | Rod Bearings | Based upon how hard a life, mileage, track use & of course known servicing history(or not!) |
Scheduled Servicing
If in doubt use the official documentation(don't believe everything you read on the internet!)
