If so, am I right in thinking it should be serviced every 20k miles? Thanks for any advice :-)
Personally I would say try and get it done as soon as possible
I bought my D2 at 112K and left it and the gearbox failed at about 120K
I would say every 30,000 miles would be a good mileage to get it re-serviced
