As a general rule, don't do any work on your car, not even a major 
service, unless you intend to put in a shake-down run of at least 50 
miles before hand.  I used to have a neighbour who was a Superintendant 
in the AA (UK motoring assistance organisation) who said that if had a 
Pound (UK Sterling) for every breakdown he'd attended where the owner 
said "but I've just had it serviced" he'd have two Pounds.  I jest, he 
said he'd be rich.
