I have a question about the effects of exceeding the Service interval. I had a Service B booked for my A180 CDI a couple of days ago, but had to cancel it due to last minute site work commitments. I've been stuck on site for longer than planned and the service interval is now exceeded by 400 miles. I know it's poor planning on my behalf, I think this is the first time I've ever been over mileage.
I was wondering what the effects of exceeding the service intervals were so I can decide whether to (a) wait for my favourite Indy back home or (b) bite the bullet, get a hire car and find a main dealer close to where I'm working. I reckon by the time I get home I'll have exceeded by 700 miles (mainly motorway).
A colleague of mine who knows Vauxhalls rather well said that his new Astra has a feature that records "black marks" for exceeding service intervals by 500 miles. He said this can get interogated in the event of warranty claims, and I wondered whether our MBs do a similar sort of thing...
