1st service today at 732 miles at BHM.
Engine oil and filter, gearbox oil and transaxle oil (last 2 not "necessary" but recommended, so went for it) all changed.
Transaxle oil that came out had silverish traces (similar effect to when you pour milk into coffee) in the oil .. so was pleased we changed it. Also lots of nut and bolt checking and tightening. Gearbox oil was surprisingly black.
We only managed to put in 4.7 or so litres of oil, no where near the 6 litres stated by factory. All oil should have drained out as oil tank drain hole is the lowest point of the engine. However, the hole is at the side of the tank and not the bottom which may mean around 1 or 2cm of oil not draining.
ECU was flashed with new settings so that car can pass MOT emissions test .. it did not; we tried twice, 2nd time when car was warm/hot. Luckily, I have 34 months to go before 1st MOT!
I wonder whether the car needs some mileage under its new ECU settings.
Meanwhile, some bling added to engine compartment. Not a simple in and out job. The bracket at the back of the tank (parallel to bulkhead) had to be taken out and bent to fit into the shiny tank's bracket. Apologies for the rubbish description, I am no mechanic.
