Re: 5000 miles service how much ????????????
?150 is very cheap ,unless the dealers I spoke to were taking the piss . Over ?200 for a 5K service!
I've decided to do it meself. I'm not the most mechanically minded person ,in fact I'm sh!t ,but I'm going to give it a go .Even after buying the tools I need
and buying the required consumables I will be quids in ,even cheaper next time.There really appears to be nothing to be scared of, this is for the 2004 model.
