The last one I done I brought a genuine "Ford service kit off Ebay", thus am fitting the very same stuff Ford would if they serviced it, this includes all filters, i.e. pollen,oil air filter, fuel filter and everything else you need to do the job, some even throw in oil, but I preferred to use my own.
I record everything I do and the milliage etc, so it's not like there is no service history, plus mine is far more detailed than a stamp in a book
I really can't understand why people go the main dealers and pay through the roof when there are doing just the same job anyone else could.

Mainly because if you have a car that has FDSH you may have a chance of a comeback if all is not well and it will sell for more, if you say I popped down to Halfords and did it myself you have no chance. No matter how good your records are, I'd treat them as shite if I was a buyer tbh. Anyone can claim xyz, not saying main dealers are great, but at least it is verifiable that someone did something and it is stamped.
As for an 80k 170, I’d do it myself, no great loss in value.
