Periodic maintenance

Items that don't need doing at every service but should be on your radar at the right mileage or age.

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
Spark plugs V8 uses 8 spark plugs. Use NGK or Bosch platinum plugs specified for this engine. Access requires removing engine covers. Poor plugs cause misfires and potential catalytic converter damage. Type 387	24,000 miles or 2 years	£120–£180 Dealer: £250–£350
