My car came off the production line on the 13th March 2007. The service message comes on in April every year. Andy, your car now lives in Wales, and the ECU does not cross national boundaries, Peter.

In the fifties, sixties and seventies weekends or part of them had fairly specific things to do with your car or motorcycle. One a month, the spark plugs had to come out, get cleaned, and the feeler gauge would come out of the toolkit to reset them. As I was doing about 500 miles a month the oil would be changed, & the filter either cleaned or changed. A top up of oil wold go into the SU carburettor, and if your car had a Solex, now and then it would have to come off and the jets be cleaned Tyres checked, and stones picked out, and now and then the drum brakes would need new shoes. You didn't have to top up the screen wash, because usually there wasn't one, and the carpets never needed cleaning either, because the car had rubber mats. The clutch cable would have to be greased, and probably the grease gun would have to be filled so you could put a little into each of the grease nipples. If you had time, you could wash the car! What do we do now?
