I hope you managed to get a new set of wiper blades out of them (part of service inclusive...)

In the UK wiper blades are not included in Service Inclusive. They are included in Service and Maintenance Inclusive however. That's what made me choose the latter! :'(

However, I have the fully inclusive and got my wiper blades replaced without any issue... (But I had to ask for them rather than just being fitted when the car was in)

Keep up the good work!

Normal!!
The microfilter "miles counter" can go up and down alot! If I drive alot downtown, parking garage etc, it will count down fast. But if I take the car on a long roadtrip out of the city, the miles for the microfilter serivce will increase!
We just did 1600 km's in 5 days, and the microfilter needed to be changed in 45.000 km's before the long trip. When we got home the microfilter needed a change in 48.000 km's

Thanks!
I did do some spirited driving. Maybe that's why the service indicator went "backwards" to "no service needed" until 3K miles from now.
Some fresh air at higher speeds seems to clear up the microfilter - maybe?!
