oil replaced and oil filter changed, nothing else. Normally anyway. If you want advice on doing it yourself let me know. Air filter, oil filter, oil and sparks for £100 ish. I am home for a month next week, would help you if you wanted:thumbs up:

Depends on the car/mileage. I think my R56 had the pollen filter changed tooat the first service at about 21k miles. It also had the brake fluid done as it was 2 years old.

Rob, given your spirited driving style i would highly advise you to change the oil and filter more often than the service indicator.
I appreciate that the oils nowadays are far better than before, but, changing the oil is of long term benefit to your mowta :thumbs up:
Not criticising by the way :D
