I'd pay £1200 to £1500 for that I reckon. What would you pay?

I'd certainly pay it but it would have to be transferrable should you sell..as it is with the Mini.

It would then be a good selling point.

Tim - you are right when you say that Americans prefer shorter service intervals and this is echoed in forums everywhere. Maybe it's a remnant from the days of dyno oils, or the fact that many do multiple short trips to Walmart etc. There is an idea that frequent changes will increase the longevity of the engine. There is a Jiffy Lube on every third corner.
