Exige V6 service

[Rancid]

I've searched, but can't really find much...

Due my 2nd year service soon and just wondering what people have paid in the past?

Is a brake fluid change due at 2 years too?

ta.

Think lotus recommend a brake fluid change every year, certainly used to with the S2. Can't comment on cost of the service thouw, haven't had one yet and have the service package anyway!

[Arun_D]

Standard brake fluid change interval on the S2 Exige  was every two years. I believe it's no different on the V6

 

Edit to add: Appears so -

Had a quote from a dealer that included clutch/brake fluid change, so yes every 2 years.

Price was £480.

[Trevsked]

I paid £600 on my first service on the Cup with a brake fluid change.

That's cheap my company just paid £830 for first service 25k miles on a Vaxhall Vivaro  van that was with pads and disks all round but even so seems expensive when I asked they said remember that's long life oil you know !!

My V6 was sold including the free Lotus 3 plus 3 offer here (Munich), so we pay nothing for any service the first 3 years.

But it seems this isn't available in UK:

I'm sure a few people in the UK, Neal_H for example, also have 3years servicing included with their car. Could be wrong

[Rancid]

I bought my car when it was 12 months old - never occurred that it could have the service deal on it.

How would I know?

I got this card from my dealer. Means 3 years (or 45.000 km) free service and 3 years warranty for Elise, Exige or Evora. Also valid for used cars.

That's funky. I haven't got anything like that! Hopefully have an email from Scott Walker or Aimee which mentions it somewhere. And Aimee told me at collection that it would be noted down somewhere so that's good enough for me...

[Rancid]

Haven't got anything, but didn't buy mine from a lotus dealer.

3 years warranty is standard isn't it?

[Bibs]

It is, but the servicing was part of the 3+3+3 deal they did a while ago.

[ArthouseCompany]

Normal warranty on everything is 2 years in Europe.  But maybe 3 years is standard for Lotus

Yep, mine has the three year service deal, plus three year warranty and two years break down cover.

I also have a card with the car details on it, which I assume is transferable between owners.

[BillTheButcher]

I also got the three-year service deal, three-year warranty and two years breakdown cover. I didn't get a little card though. I bought mine in November 2014.

I don't know if they'll transfer to the new owner.

333 has been launched since more one year ago, and it's still in progress.

If you bought a brand new car, you'll have the first service free and the next three services two. That's concerns all the dealers in the world. It's attached at your VIN. So, if you sell your car, the 333 continues. If you don't know, just give the VIN number to a dealer, he will be able to tell you if your car is concerned or not.

Sorry for my english, I mean the 333 is about the car, not about the owner... Hope it's clear.

That's exactly what I paid earlier this month for my yr2 service with brake/clutch fluid change.

Still waiting for the UK's newest dealer to come back to me with a price.

Surely it shouldn't take a week to return calls / give price...
