Tyre pressure every other week. Tranmission and washer fluid at the same time as tyres. Always done it with all the cars I've owned, both Saab and Skoda. never had anything untoward other than wear and tear and old age. The GF owns a Vauxhall/Opel Corsa B. I have been known to force her to check tyre pressures once a month or more. Don't know when she last checked the oil. It is already 6 months overdue for a service, but she won't have it. She is looking to sell in the next 4 months, so doesn't care anymore, even though the service record would have looked better. -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
