- Hello and welcome back or indeed welcome.
Here's the follow up to the second year service and fuel pump recall video from a week ago. Having been away there was a bit of a delay in posting the second part.
Unfortunately picked up a cracked windscreen on the courtesy car as well which I could certainly have done without lol. Wanted to post a video giving an idea of some of the costs involved but have to say the overall experience has been a good one from a customer service perspective.
Thanks for watching and please leave a comment and like or subscribe, it would mean a lot.

I looked at the Alpine and decided I'd just hang on to my f type,if you remove the price of two tyres and the cost of the excess for the damaged screen then that's around £500 , which puts your service at around £700 which I think is a little high, certainly compared to what I pay for mine,£90 to replace a tyre valve is day light robbery I would of made a fuss about that. Still a nice car all the same.
Yeah £407 for the service and around 180 go the tyres. To be fair there is a disparity in costs because the Alpine dealers are sometimes located within Arnold Clark, John Clark etc. Cheaper than a Porsche at least lol. Do like the F type too
Shame about the windscreen occurrence. I have the year-6 service coming-up on my 2018 PE, but I'll be doing the service myself. I won't be change the spark plugs as the car will only have done around 26k miles and I drive my car very gently and rarely push it at all. An experienced mechanic told me that you don't need to touch the iridium spark plugs with such low miles and especially if you don't drive the car hard, so only after say 50k miles. An Alpine dealer let me down at the year 5 service (didn't tighten-up a jubilee clip on the large grey hose near the bulkhead, and even after asking in advance twice they failed to stamp the service book, and expected me to pay for return post to them to get it done as I lived 100 miles away from the garage), and the value of the car is now at around £35k so doesn't merit paying through the nose for Alpine to do it as its lost £10k in value in 18 months. Its a Renault Megane RS engine at the end of the day, so I refuse to pay £100 to £150/hr labour charge to work on this car when I can do the oil, oil filter and air filter change myself
Certainly worthwhile if you can do bits yourself. The windscreen was unfortunate especially given the car had done less than 700 miles. Could certainly have been worse though. Fingers crossed I've only had positive if somewhat pricey experiences so far
