Good job mate, glad to see people tackling their own services. I wouldn't know where to start to be honest, and it would save me a bit cash!!

Servicing
Servicing on modern vehicles are mostly checks, there is not much to change or renew, apart from filters and oil.
I don't know how garages can justify their cost on servicing, anyone with access to a pit or a ramp could do most things themselves (I think) would be interested to know what other members think what could not be done by a DIYer. |

Having all the relevant tools does make life much easier...I must of spent about £50 on tools which I can use to service my other cars!
