Every thing so far seems to be okay for me.

If you want to do it through an offical Honda source (depending on where you are) try Brayley Honda, Hemel Hempstead. Used them for servicing on mine and Dave, the service manager, has been top notch. Seem to be a genuine bunch of enthusiasts who know what they are doing.

I live in central scotland and was hoping to get mine serviced / mot'd at Hypertech, they specialise in Jap Imports etc.

Anyone used them? They are in Bonnybridge

Anyone have any recommendations around the Milton Keynes area?
Northampton honda have welcomed mine with open arms - they tell me there is another white one that is serviced regularly there.

I have still had to get some parts from Dave Johnson on this forum though - he had some parts in stock that Northampton Honda would have to place on a long order time. But I could get them deliver stright to Northampton Honda and fitted in the day.

Bit far to go for a oil change, but not to bad for a major service. TGM will be getting a call along with CPL when I start seriously tuning the Teg in the new year!

9000 mile service £178 including my wifes S2000 club thingy discount. That was filters and fluids service (although no brake pads, apparently I haven't worn them out..... I'm obviously not driving hard enough!).

They even suggested that next time I bring it in the night before so the car could be cool enough to check the tappets! Attention to detail, thats what I like!

Haven't seen too many recent posts regarding Brayley (either Hemel or St. Albans), so I wanted to ask whether they are still a good place to go for servicing? I've just gotten myself an FD2 and would like to use them for servicing if the chap Dave is still there and they do good work.
Thanks
