I actually made a profit on the oil, i bought a 4 for 3 before it went up, you had the whole box off me.
Got it back after it had gone up....
Should have taken it back to the dealer and cashed in :D

Thanks for all of your constructive comments. B*st*ds.
For my £195 I got:
Oil flush/change and filter
Strip brakes/clean/adjust
Air filter
Pollen filter
Fuel system cleaner
Srark plugs
As well as this I got a MASSIVE good garage scheme checklist with the brake pad and disc measurements, tyre depth measurements and even a CO2 emissions readout. If I have any complaints I can go online and slag the garage off.
Breakdown was:
Parts £ 76.20
Labour £ 90.00
VAT £ 29.10
Total £195.30
Not that bad for what I got.
