Just put in an parts order to do the Spring service; 5L of synthetic oil, 6 spark plugs and all the filters came to bang on 60 quid including shipping.

Just wondering how this compares to UK parts prices, and the cost of getting the service done at a decent independent mechanic. So what did your last service cost?

The last service cost me £20. That was for fuel, oil and air filter.

Oil, plugs, anti freeze and brake fluid were free :)

Thats not bad really - most garages seem to want £100 for what is described as a "service" but really is just an oil and filter change.
