My 03 Works 'S' is coming up to its 60,000 mile service which is the full service. I know I could just phone the dealer for the price but I would like to know from those who have had this service -

How much does it cost?

What was found that required replacing?

The car runs beautifully with no wierd vibration, clunks or problems so just wondered what peoples experience of the 60,000 mile service is.

Just to be clear so the thread doesnt fly off in some strange direction - 60,000 mile service ....and no rants about dealers.... :)

I was quoted £350 by Douglas Park for the Inspection 2 service on my 51 Cooper :eek:.
Done it myself for 80 quid after that!

Sounds like the £350 to extend the TLC could be worth it.
