service 45oo petrol
Hi Guys, can anyone tell me what entails a 180000km service on a 1997/8 4500 petrol patrol? The agents here quoted me not more than R6500.... *#$%^#@!?":

Talk to Graham Cummimg - Pathmaker on this forum. Many of us have our Trolls serviced by him. Never heard of a problem. He is in Valhalla.

Re: service 45oo petrol
A normal service consists of changing oil, filters and plugs, setting the tappets and handbrake and greasing the steering and propshafts. Certainly not that much work.
However, if re-greasing the birfields and front wheel bearings, replacing the coolant and brake and clutch fluids and diff, gearbox and t/case oils are included (which all actually should have been done a couple of times already) then perhaps that is not unreasonable.
So get them to explain to you exactly what they are talking about?

Re: service 45oo petrol
The agents normally charge double what an independant guy will charge , are there no independant mechanics that are RMI members in your hometown.
The agents tell you what they will be doing and then they do half of the work at 1/4 of the effort but still charge you as if they had done all the work
Shalom
