Is this car on longlife or t&d? If it's on longlife then you can potentially get 2years or 20K, if it's t&d then you will be 1 year or 10K, if your unsure what plan your on it will say on the 1st page of
Your service book,
Why not have the service early?

Its on T&D, i dont want to do it too early, i work a lot of Saturdays and i like to take my car in on a Saturday morning and if i do it when i am able to do then it will be over a month early for the service, which i obviously dont want to do !, the next free Saturday is the day after its registration date, interestingly the computer on the car is telling me the service is due 10 days after it was first registered !?

Sure i read somewhere as long as it is done within 30 days of the countdown limit it is still covered.

They probably do something when the car is picked up to start the timer as the pre delivery inspection not when they assign the reg to the car which will happen in swansea not your local garage!   So you probably have 9 days spare  :happy2:
