Mine is due soon so I also would like to know - is it the same as the 7500?? I thought it was a major service?? with more done than the 7500?
£170 would seem right if it was a major
22500 would be the same as the 7500 ie.£100

I was about to ask Paul where he got his car serviced!!
The 15K is a bigger service than the 7.5K. Roughly 2 hours as opposed to 1 hour for the 7.5K. My 15K service also included a wheel tracking check, so the price of £170+VAT sounds about right.
Cheers

Don't think they change the spark plugs as part of the 15,000 mile service. I think the only difference between the 7,500 and 15,000 mile service is that in the 15,000 mile service they spend another hour "checking" things (i.e your car is parked while the mechanics have a cup of tea). So basically all that is involved is an oil/oil filter change and you giving the dealer £200.....
How do they make a profit????
Oh don't forget the useless body inspection too to keep your waranty. Thats another 100 odd quid...

Hi Guys
I checked the service manual just today, it would seem that they do? change the plugs on a 15k service, and like someone said 'check a load of other stuff'.
Enjoy

Got a warranty book in front of me.
The only difference between the two services are that the coolant, coolant hoses, fuel lines, air filter, emissions and diff fluids are checked.
We do these at every service anyway.
What is done at 15k or more importantly, 1 year, is the body service. Depending on the dealer this is between £75 and £150.
Plugs are only changed at 30, 60, 90... k miles.

Well, now this is interesting, my book open right here in front of me states that the spark plugs ARE replaced at 12months/15,000miles
The other items in addition to the 7500mile are:-
Cooling system - Inspect
Fuel System - Inspect
Air Filter - Inspect
4-Gas analysis - Inspect
Trans and Diff oil - Inspect
Axle shafts and boots - Inspect
Brake linings - Inspect
Clutch - Inspect
Steering/Suspension - Inspect
Spark Plugs - REPLACE

Edited to say that I have just seen a page at the back of the book saying that on Turbo models the plugs are only replaced at 30K. so, it would seem that if you have a Turbo its new spark plugs at 30K otherwise its 15K - which makes the 15,000 mile service a rip-off at twice the price of the 7500 !!! I will check the Inspect things and tell them they are ok eh?? what a racket!!
