I wonder if Andy will let me bring my own Castrol 10/60 for my next service (oil) to keep the cost down

My dealer let me take my own oil which cost me 59quid from opie for 8L,then the oil service was 80quid,so i got an oil service done at a main dealer for 139quid,and some oil left for top ups.

I know its the wrong insp but i was ringing round my local main dealers last week and ocean falmouth wouldve done an insp II for £800 all in, incl a car while mine in for 2 days. Westerly Exeter price matched this. Mine not due for a while yet, but i thought i would just put that down here.

They've dropped their prices then as they were the most expensive when i was quoted for an Insp II last year - almost £1200!!! Needless to say they didn't get my business...

Yes Rob,they were very expensive down there,but they do 4+ and 6+ now which help ease the pain a little.

Just as I thought! Chandlers have quoted the wrong price. They originally quoted £475 after checking it against the chassis number because the computer 'works it out', and I have now had another e-mail from a colleague saying they didn't allow for the correct parts! They are now quoting £635!!

It never ceases to amaze me how inept some of these service departments are!

Cheapest so far is now Snows - £551 inc v.a.t.

finally booked my car in at Murketts for next week.
Its not due a service just a few bits that need sorting under warranty....

I may get an oil change done but I will be providing my own oil

I hope all these cheap prices include a loan M3 Edition for the Inspection overnight bit?

I'm just leaving it with them, trying to borrow a trailer to keep the miles off the car... how sad is that

trying to do less than 3k a year, the Spa trip will kill it in 2010
