One of my mates had a second service on a Corsa C a few months ago and she had to have new pads I think, cost quite a bit

Just tell them when you drop it off that you want them to give you a ring and let you know before they do anything major like change the pads?

No they won't notice the airbox is drilled. Just tell them not to bother changing the filter when you take it in. I've got a K&N element in mine and it came with a sticker to stick on it telling them not to throw it away. Still haven't checked to see if its still there though as they might have swapped it and didn't tell me.

F*ck that! I got my service tomorrow and I told them I want my brakes looking at because they sound like they are grinding, which I think is a bit shite as I have only done 11k. They better not charge me without telling me first
