Oil/water Check

quick question.
How often should i check my water, oil and tyre pressure. On my Old P38, i would do it monthly (about 400 miles or so- was a 14 year old car)
My current FFRR has Full service history with 27K on the clock? Any other routine check i should do please do advise.
Thanks 2011 5.0SC Santorini Black

Plenty of punters consider a once a year look under the bonnet and thats when the RR is serviced.
Personally I look under the hood at least once a week. depends on milage.
Tyres.....depends how new they are for me, if you are going on a long trip probably a good idea to check them before hand.
But monthly is a good thing for pressure checks, if you have a good eye for tyre sag probably longer.

What does the manual tell you to do?

Ours is fully fettled and well maintained in the main dealer network. I still check the coolant level at least once weekly because they can lose coolant without the dashboard warning necessarily activating.

so far not too bad. I have done nearly 900 miles, in 4 weeks, with about £350 on fuel. still have a half tank left.
its double the miles i normally do, but has been enjoyable and to drive. revisiting the Loud pedal is tough. 2011 5.0SC Santorini Black

Your returning about 21 litres per 100km, so im guessing you are city driving. These are pretty normal figures. I would expect to see sub 14L per hundred on a country run.
You are paying pretty well double what we are paying for fuel here in Australia at the moment.
Premium 98 is around $1.22 ATM.

Out of the c900, c750 has been motorway driving. Yes our fuel prices are high, although they have dropped recently,. I think we pay 80% tax, which ensure we drive on streets Pot Hole free and free of road works, Smile 2011 5.0SC Santorini Black
