Servicing my car
My car i use for work has started to sound alot more like a diesel and louder when ticking over etc.Also the MPG has dropped quite a bit.
I didnt think anything of it until i checked and it is well past its service date.
So i just wanted to know when i get it serviced would it make it any quieter or improve the mpg?
Its a 04 plate diesel mondeo.
Cheers

Fuel Filters on diesel affect mpg badly too... so change that too.
