well, it's due a service soon....but i refuse to pay over the odds for servicing!! I will take it to a garage for an oil change, literally just to get a stamp in the book and ill attach all receipts for the next owner to see.
i replaced;
Spark Plugs ( Original equipment NGK's ) - £56
Bosch MAF's (same as original equipment) - £177
Air Filters - £22 ish
MicroFilters - £20 ish
Oil Filter - £10 ish (obviously this will be fitted when the oil service is done)
I replaced the items because i had no proof they'd ever been changed (although filters would obviously have been done at service intervals.)
The car was a little hesitant too, which now seems to be fixed since fitting new MAF's
The bills can be large, but the fact im not really interested in modifying it means im spending less each week than i was with my cossies/evo etc..
