Can't believe that they're charging £200 for service parts

£200 for service parts that they probably won't use, just tick the box again and stick it on your bill.
Even if you take your own stuff along, they'll probably use crap stuff and use yours for their own cars

Can you tell I don't like main dealers?

As much as I don't trust main dealers, I trust the local independents even less.

I wouldn't be taking it near a main dealer if I didn't want to preserve my warranty!

Yes and retail is MUCH higher, retail is nearly 50 notes just for the oil

Have you done any DIY work on it yet? If so how have you found it?

So, spill the beans, what exactly had they done....oil and filter?

Yup

We both knew that

Now they've confessed that, trading standards for what they have put in writing they did a year ago

I'm afraid I haven't, I'm getting a bit too old now for lying on my back under cars.

There easy enough, oil filter is a bit 'V6' ish as its at the rear of the engine. Basicaly the same setup as the 1.9 CDTi

Oh fun! You would have thought on an engine designed for FWD use it would be better placed.

Always amazed in comparison Audi/BMW's have them accessible from above in the engine bay, least on the 3.0/4.0 ones i've seen.

Probably are, but found a local garage that will change the oil and filter for £20, whilst I'm watching them, torqued up properly

All the modern Vx engines are easily accessable at the front.....the CDTi is a Fiat design.

Plus there is a bloody great big turbo at the front in the way
