Hi Guys, like a lot of you I do my own servicing, my question is = does any one use a software program to keep track of what and when they did servicing.
I always forget what I did and when !
I have been trying to track down one but don't seem to find anything suitable.
Any help appreciated,
Will

or if you use Outlook as your email medium use the calendar in it. I find that great for keeping track of all sorts of things.

I have a Palm Pilot ( aka plastic brain) and I was able to download a complete service and fuel log for it... and it fits into my pocket... and it gives all sorts of alarms if service intervals are not met plus gives me all sorts of useful info re fuel usage etc....
Mine is only a very basic model, I'm thinking of upgrading to a new one with built in Navagation software....a great all over tool

Hi Rick, what software was it ?
I have had a look at some but they are either too basic or very bloated.

I have a simple notebook(paper type). I write down each service and I keep an eye on the kilometres for servicing every 5000km. If I add bits or replace parts I write it up. Too easy :o) I know this is not an electronic solution but far more simpler.

Hi Willem, very sage advise, at least with the computer I can't loose it.
I might have to fight the kids for it though.
