Default 3k Service

So my car goes in for its 3k service on the 19th. Is there anything i should get them to check, apart from getting a locking wheel nut on my wheels that Danny pointed out that i don't have from when he stalked me down last week..

Cheers
Tenille

hasnt it just got a brand new engine? haha

before our 3k service i just made sure i'd tested all the buttons/aircon/cruise/usb/voice control etc to make sure they worked...

asked them to adjust the brakes a little, ours has pretty ordinary air con.. but be prepared for the fob off.. if they took that long to fix ur engine... i cant imagine them being able to fix anything else for you...

What can I say, when it comes to stalking and hunting down Fiesta owners, I take the cake, which is rather ironical, as I take the cake most the time?!

I have noticed all the Fiestas at the local bogan Ford dealership don't have locking wheel nuts either? Definitely ask, I have them. Also check the wheel arches, see if any of the plastic plugs are missing, and check for scratches and dints (like under the front bar) before you drop it off, even take pictures, in the past dealers have been more than happy to scratch my front bar but have no responsibility for it when I confront them. Good luck!
