I bought my 4.2sc in Jan 13. I have no patience , needed shot of two PX cars, and in hindsight rushed it
The non franchised selling dealer, GP Cars in Hertford told me car had been serviced (which now I doubt) , and it had a main dealer history...
Anyway, car drove ok I thought (I was changing from an xc90) , mpg was mid teens as expected.

I have only done 12k miles in two years, and I was naive in waiting for service light to come on
So two weeks ago , realised I HAD to get a full service. £700 later , oil filters, 8 new plugs, brake fluid.

Just returned from a 200 mile round trip for a weekend away

It's like a different car, I promise , it's no placebo effect, it is like a rocket.
The pick up at any speed, the noise, even 1 or 3 mpg better.

Now gutted that for last 2 years I have been driving about in a poorly maintained car, not driving to its full potential  Alcohol and eBay is never a good mix

2006 4.2 Supercharged, Java Black

its surprising what doing so little can improve a vehicle.....i think i'm going to have to do my spark plugs soon.. ... - .- -.
