Popped in today with my Cecil to get his gear box oil changed and SMG updated to the latest version. While there wasn't anything wrong with the car, I do like to get things sorted before they need to be
This is commonly known as "preventative maintenance" amongst OCD sufferers
and as the last gear oil change was in 2009 @ 66K during the previous Inspection 2 (just before I purchased Cecil) I wasn't particularly happy to wait another 14 months / 15K miles until the next Inspection 2 service. Infact this has been bugging me since last summer and as it turned out the old gear oil was well & truly used so this was very timely + the latest SMG update has really sharpened up things too, it's instantly noticible through the seat of the pants with really smooth but crisp & precise actions.
I highly recommend doing the above to anyone who may have forgotten about the often overlooked gear box oil, sooner rather than later
this is especially important to the guys who still brave their Cecils Track-side
Huge THANX to Gareth & Natalie @ Bartlett Automotive for their grand efforts with my Cecil. Great service & friendly hospitality. Thank you guys
and keep up the good work.
