Major Service

Hi all

My 2009 Ford Focus is due a major service as it is 3 years old, although it has only done 16,000 miles.

Looking at the paperwork an annual service was done at 7,000 miles on it's 1st birthday and then a subsequent service done at 13,000 miles after two years.

Is there anything I need to specifically have done at this interval?

I am looking at the following:

- new air filter

- new spark plugs

- new pollen filter

- new oil filter & oil change

- fluid check and change if necessary

- brake pad/disc check

The steering feels slightly out (i.e. I need to hold the wheel slightly left of centre to remain straight) therefore I also want the tracking/wheel balancing looking into.

Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Many thanks!

    My advice would be to check the vehicle after the service to make sure everything is correct before you drive off, as when I had my focus serviced last month they forgot to replace the oil filler cap :angry: and caused oil to leak when driving for just under a week before I noticed.
