Having read through many posts on here, some mention "stage 0" / stage 0 service ?
Excuse my ignorance, being quite new to the marque, what is stage 0 ?

Stage 0 is just a full service to bring it back to original specification.

I've always read it as 'zero', implying it's the thing you do to a car with unknown service history before you start doing anything else.

You mean you do "zero" to a car with unknown history ?

No, sorry, my perception is that you might buy a car with unknown history and with some possible faults or even a nice car that you want to improve, it's easy to get carried away with a list of things to do like, 1 New Tyres, 2 Replace headlining, 3 Fit Towbar, 4 fit fancy Silicon Hoses to Engine, 5 Replace Engine Control Module, etc etc and then find that the car has been so neglected that it's not worth fixing or what the internet makes sound like a complicated fix is just a bad spark plug or lead, so item zero on the list, do a basic service,- oil, filters, plugs, leads, points to check the car is in a good running condition before you get carried away with upgrades or complicated fixes .
