Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Could anyone tell me how many miles should I leave it before I service my car? 99 Astra? (83k on the clock)

    At what mileage was it last serviced and how long ago was that?

    Should be serviced every 10,000 miles or 12,500 kms. Have you had the timing belt done. If not you'd want to get it done sharpish too.

    Got the timing belt done about 7k miles ago just over a year ago. Think I should bring her in anyway

    Well if your not doing big mileage then the car should be serviced at least once a year.
