If you do go to 10 000 miles on a Euro I would have thought this was giving IM or Vilvoden an excuse for not paying out for warranty work. There are lots of threads about problems with warranties.
Not worth the risk IMHO and besides I want my oil changed every 7 5000 miles and I can't be ar5ed to do it myself.

IM won't cover the warranty on an import, the dealer has to ring up who ever provided the warranty in the country the car was bought from to get work cleared. So I think you would have to stick to the servicing schedule set out by the country of origin.

Absolutely right - Euro imports are stuck with the 7,500 mile intervals, as the 10,000 directive is unilaterally from IM, and applies only to cars officially imported by them, and hence warranted by them.
Subaru Benelux would have a marvellous excuse not to adhere to the warranty if you decided to adopt the UK intervals, in contravention of the agreed Benelux intervals.

Hi Scooby-Babe. Got quoted £49 for maintenance and about £40 for parts for the MY02 1,000 miler..... All plus VAT. Local Scooby dealer. Probably wise to ring a few, as another I contacted was looking at over £100 plus VAT.
