just thinking services cost about £100 isn't that a bit steep for the above work? All quite simple stuff you can do yourself as well isn't it. Think i'll do it myself next time.

well then why take it 2 a garage ??
look on your invoice that will tell u whats been done.
press the trip button n turn ignition on at the same time n keep it held on till the INSP light claers.

people use garages simply because they can get a recipt to show its been serviced, so when it comes to selling the car they can show this to the person who's buying it, fsh
on the other hand, you could keep your recipts from sepeate pars and shown them that?
