ST185 CS Service History |
This page contains the history of my car including services, repairs carried out and oil changes etc. Also any major expenses have been listed but not costed, mainly because I don't like to think of the running costs. I have also decided to add the meets I have attended into the table. If you need a great workshop manual I can highly recommend the following one. |
