..for transport of dead canguru's?

I tooled around the land of sand in this Merc Unimog

No oil changes required, or any maintenance in the year I used it

Never let me down, never got stuck

The day OPs mate put a 'Chip' in it he kissed goodbye to any warranty...

Personally if i get anything thats done a few Ks then I drop everything and renew for piece of mind, might be why Iv never broken down, prevention better than cure?

Not saying its correct, but, there are many that adopt the attitude of "if it aint broke dont fix it" and dont adhere to preventative maintenance and just fix things as they arise, as often they cant afford to do regular scheduled servicing.

 

Hard to believe when servicing is so cheap here. 5000 baht a year for a regular service and they can't afford that !!

Dealership service content and price is agreed before commencement of work. Costs for unseen issues are also agreed before commencement of addressing such.

Least ways that's always happened to me for over twenty years covering different marques.

If folks negotiate a reduced service that's up to them and if you do that, why whine later.
