How to use this guidance
Use the handbook and current dealer programme for the exact model year, market and build specification. No time/mileage intervals, torque settings, fluid grades or capacities are borrowed from the parent family.
Checks, fluids, and inspection notes
Regular checks
- Have the electro-hydraulic shift system and bonded structure checked by a specialist familiar with the Newport Pagnell cars. Confirm any gearbox conversion against its own service records.
- Review the dated service record and written evidence of completed safety campaigns.
- Check tyres, warning messages and visible leaks using the correct owner handbook before a trip.
Fluid strategy
- Obtain approved specifications for the exact engine, transmission and market from the correct handbook or authorised dealer.
Inspection notes
- A named special edition can have body, braking, suspension or electronic equipment that differs from its family.
- Retain the factory build specification and documented service/campaign work.
- Owner checks do not replace a qualified inspection or authorise workshop procedures.
