So I guess a car that just sits undriven for 2 yrs, would suddenly show an inspection being due?
Isn't inspection II the first time the valves are adjusted? Maybe I am thinking of inspection I at 22-25k? I don't think time has anything to do with when the computer tells you a service is due. It is solely based upon fuel usage from my understanding otherwise mine would have said it needed the service long ago. I do my brake/coolant changes based on time(2yr intervals) and 1yr oil changes since I drive so little each year.
