   Just bought this low milage 2004 little car for the wife. I do my own servicing and although it is up to date I wondered if anyone has the info on service intervals and quantities for it for when I next do it please?. I also have a Piccasso and got a CD service manual in pdf format off ebay but dont seem to be one for the saxo?
   
   The Haynes book would be wasted as I dont do big repairs just the servicing.

   Just change the oil and oil filter yearly, can't go far wrong then. Change the spark plugs, air and fuel filter as well if you like, can get them all for £20.

   I know you mentioned the Haynes manual but in the front it has the service intervals for various parts.

   Imo Haynes manuals are invaluble. They have everything from changing the air filter to engine overhal. Definately worth getting, and I bet you when something slightly big goes wrong u'll read up on it and think 'actually that's a piece of piss' lol. Also has complete guide for servicing including hints and tips that are worth knowing.
   
   I change me oil and filter every year (12k ish), and sparks etc every 2 years (24k ish) roughly.
