Servicing

[MilanoChris]

I've decided to get it done now well a few weeks anyway.
It's booked in at TGM in a few weeks time

I recently had a minor there. Just under £100 isn't bad!

I know many taxi drivers who change their oil every 3k regardless. Some of them go on for 200 000 miles on a single engine(mostly Toyota's) -do a few clutches though!!

TGM serviced mine, and i also had it done at BMW (misses works for them and got it free!!!)

Cant remember the service intervals, but i had it done when i bought it and before i sold it about 12months later

Always changed the oil every 3k or so though

Just had mine serviced today at System R, 50k service, it cost £300 and am very happy with everything they did.

£300 WOW, i had mine done at TGM, supplied my own oil/filter tho, but the service, buying rear camber arms and having full alignment setup done was only about £270, and the rear arms were about £130 of that!.

Was only a 36k ish service, but i had valve clearances etc... done again to be sure.

You think 300 was bad, you should have seen the quote a local Honda dealer gave, not that I had any intention of going to a dealer, was just curious. As usual, the labour is the most expensive part, I think a fair amount of the time is taken up by the tappets. Either way, its done with now and my wallet is very light!

I had 36k service done, gearbox oil, new brake fluid and valve clearances and it was a shade over £200 at TGM 8)

Having the above done on Saturday, apart from the brake fluid. Tom at TGM said it would be £170.

Mine's going in for-
Engine oil and filter
Gearbox oil
Brake hoses and fluid
Valve clearances

I think with the prices Tom gave me it worked out about 270ish

What extra is done at a 50k service?
