people use garages simply because they can get a recipt to show its been serviced, so when it comes to selling the car they can show this to the person who's buying it, fsh

on the other hand, you could keep your recipts from sepeate pars and shown them that?

A haynes guide will tell u :)

well then why take it 2 a garage ??

look on your invoice that will tell u whats been done.

press the trip button n turn ignition on at the same time n keep it held on till the INSP light claers.

sevice charges are ridiculus at garages. Its all stuff u can do urself in half a day

yes the charge for the work is quite alot, even if you get the bits i listed abotu from halfords and use the good qualityy stuff ur lookign at no more than £30 excluding the fuel filter, the fuel filter is £15 from vauxhall

just thinking services cost about £100 isn't that a bit steep for the above work? All quite simple stuff you can do yourself as well isn't it. Think i'll do it myself next time.

look at the colour of the oil, should be golden not dirty black, take spark plugs out they shouldnt be dirty yet, look at oil filter does it look new!

Dont think they have serviced it as it eats a hell of a lot of petrol!!!

anyway i can check??

Full service at Ford is

Oil and filter
Air filter
Pollen filter if Air Con
Fuel filter
Plugs

The INSP thingy just needs turning off, prob forgot to do it. Just go in and get them to do it, theres a special way to do it, press 2 buttons same time and shit

from a full services id expect:
oil change and engine flush
oil filter change
air filter change
spark plugs changed
fuel filter changed

as above guys thankx

My car was meant to have been serviced dont think they done it as it says on the clock INSP so i think they just kept car and done nowt to it had quiet a a bit done from them bodykit fitted painted etc.......
