Genuine parts and quality oils should have been ni on £170 bangers I'd have thought... Bloody bargain if you got all that and service stamp to....

Right ok,oil used is mobile 1 very good oil so ive been told,blueprint fuel filter,air filter was infact cleaned not replaced as was still like new(i only drive the car twice a week).labour £75.I think £208 is a very fair price as i was quoted in excess of £400 elsewhere.

Sounds like a good deal, but mobil 1 is not a oil that everyone likes.

Problem is mate, as you will have seen on the scoobynet thread, you can post something up and people will have always have different ideas etc. I have just posted up to give someone an idea on a cambelt sevice as mine has just been done and they are trying to say they can get the same service for £300, with a cam belt!!! Can only think that the cambelt is an elastic band and the oil is extra virgin olive oil!!!
