Off to my independant garage to have three servicing items completed. Brake fluid replacement, Vehicle Check (which my service book details) and a Statutory Inspection. Does this differ from country to country? If so, what does such a service cover here in the UK?

Thanks.

Ian.

Statutory Inspection is surely the MOT, due three years after first reg.

The date for this must be set wrong in my car then. It had it's first MOT last August. Now got a date appearing for June!

Thanks.

Your dealer probably did not reset the iDrive properly (or at all) after the last MOT

You can reset it yourself in the Service menu
