    well as yours is a 05 plate it won't need brake fluid change etc just a simple oil+ filter change change the microfilter for the air-con/heaterbox check/ adjust the h/brake and check brake pad wear the fillin service book reset your service lights and thats you... if you have any other issues with the car get the service advisor to write them in as extra's as the idea if their not complaining of it it's fine unless it's something very obvious that we can spot from a mile away

    hope this helps

    oil filter and fuel filter or air filter? Ill be putting a wee fault down when booking it in as well probably just leave it there for the day anyways. How do they check the brake pad wear? (Don't want any paint chipped off etc my brake calipers! :evil:)

    ah ok, don't change the fuel filter? seems a bit wierd... probably don't change it unless it becomes clogged and car starts cutting out what about checking the brake pads? Do they do anything that could chip the paint off of the calipers?

    not likely we have a special tool that probes between the pad and the disc.. (if you have a look at the pad it has a small notch in the middle of it this probe goes through there touches the disc behind then as it's pushed in it acts prettty much like a tread depth gauge unless your into your trackdays i doubt there will be any issues
