Have any Euro owner have done their 30000km service yet? My baby has just over 30000km on its clock now ;) . Ready for another service.
How many Kays have other 2003 Euro owners done?

The factory Dunlop SP2050 are about 3/4 worn.

Fuel consumption rate is still very impressive: 11.5km/L at least, sometimes over 12km/L :) . but I travel between Brisbane and Gatton (approx 140km return on highway) once a week. so a few stone chips on the bonnets already :(

Just put my car in for its 30k service this morning, its a 2004 model.

Tyres are about 1/3 worn, still plenty of tread.

Fuel cons. ave about 8.7/100km, mainly stop start city traffic, i get about 750km to a tank, and about 950km on the freeways (6.8l/100km).

Thanks for your replies.

ABS121: you must be a very conservative driver, very fuel economic and tyre friendly.
with the way you are going, your tyres probably can outlast those ones on Taxi and other commercial vehicles.

Gibbo: your euro is very lucky, you must nuture it very well. but dont spoil it :) Just kidding.

Yeah, i fang it from time to time but it is a luxury car so most of the time i just sit back and njoy it.

had a civic vti-r coupe b4 the Euro and the factory tires lasted 90,000km, so did the brake pads.

dont get me wrong, im no old fart.... just look after my car

Mine is over 35,000kms, got it at the beginning of 2004. My 17" Yoko's are only 1/3 worn :D . I to agree with the stone chips. Had a number of them, touch them up, and got a bonnet protector. Since then, it has reduced significantly.

I've already booked my euro in for 30000Km service in Early April. I will try Austral Honda (Newstead, Brisbane) this time as suggested by Coladuna. and hopefully there wont be any hiccup this time.
BTW, How much did you guys' 30000km service cost? (schedule service, without wheel balance, rotation and alignment)

Wah ABS 121. U must have a secret on your driving style to last ur tyres for 90,000km. Were they bold when u replace them?

Civic VTI-R! hasn't it got a high rev engine? if I remember right, it revs about 3400rpm 5th gear @ 100km/h.

Yeah, no idea, the tyres werent bald but man did they last a while.

I paid $238 but they replaced the oil filter, and balanced and rotated the tyres, which i think is a must every 10k.
