Just curious, my car is coming upto its 15,000k service (the reminder has been on 1 month remaining for about 3 1/2 weeks) but i wont get paid for like a fortnight later.... my question is, if I let the car go over by 2 or 3 weeks will the new car warranty be void? I know the roadside assist will be but i've got nrma roadside so im not worried about that. Thanx.

no you wont void your warranty. i think its around 3000kms you get leeway for your service, correct me if im wrong anyone. On my first 1500km service i got it done at 3000 and they had no problems.

well the car actually only has 14,000 on the clock but its past the 12 months siince the 1500 service thats all. It will be serviced before it gets to 15,000 but will be over time-wise. Does this matter?

It's only a guide, and the reminders are just that....
I wouldn't leave it too long though.....
Not sure if Mitsubishi has an official km distance that they will not service or void your warranty on - I doubt it.....

Depends upon how Hard and Fast that the Dealership or Warranty Holder wants to play it.
We used to own an "Oh what a Feeling" and were told that the "Engines were highly sensitive" and that "1 kilometre past the service was a breach"
Totally ridiculous statement by a Service Nazi, and just one of the reasons that we now own the CJ.

As long as you get it done soon I think you will be fine.
Mitsu should give you some leeway but I wouldn't leave it too long
And you can do your supplementary services yourself
EG 7500km etc
It's pretty easy and you will save yourself some cash
