S-Type service interval?

[Raistlin]

Just wondering whether the quoted service intervals for S-Types are realistic.

The reason I comment is that Denis is breaking an S-Type which he has just bought after it had just ground to a halt after 160000 miles.

As it has been broken it has become clear that this car has never been serviced since it was first delivered.

The spark plugs had little more than a vestigial electrode. The Oil and air filters were originals.

The inside of the engine is in a disgusting state as you'd expect but, quite some illustration of the quality of the basic engineering in our cars.

160000 mles without a service.

BTW - if anybody wants parts from a 2003 S-Type 3.0, give Denis a shout

Hopefully the brakes wern't original Paul?

Wow! That is quite shocking Paul, to think of the poor thing struggling along for all those miles without even minimal attention!
