I've seen you do it in little over 45mins on a 1998 MV6 (so plenum lift required).  Mind you, the pub was calling your name

Yes, remember the XF and the £300 bill I had for an oil change

price on my X type for a full service, all fluids and filters, and aircon,    from jag main dealer.....  £299 inc VAT

[MaxV6]

which BTW is £88 less than my Mv6 was at Vx dealer.

The bird at work I serviced the Renault for.....

She was quoted £159 for just an interim service. When I looked at the Renault site (out of interest again cos it makes me feel good to see exactly how much I've saved myself/saved someone) all they did was an oil and filter change and a ''25 point inspection''. so oil and filter and ''oh yeah your exhaust has gone''. utter rubbish! I got all the stuff for her for £35 and a proper job done including lubricating her brakes as they were new and still squealing after 2 months! no evidence of any lube at all and almost seized slide pins!!!!

I dread to think what the repair cost would have been of the coilpack I replaced for her. one CPP and it literally took two mins.

I skim-read the above, and only picked up the words:

bird
service
exhaust
stuff
proper job
squealing
lube
slide.

It wasn't nearly as interesting on second reading

No news here either.

It's why Oof exists. No?




... It wouldn't be quite so bad if they had a proper professionally behaved technician doing the job. But when you go round the back and see a hoody in each bay, shouting and screaming like its a monkey house, throwing stuff about and swinging off spanners attached to the under side of a car, you realise your being shafted.

In fact, the hoodys can't be on that much money either. But then that's the nature of most businesses these days.

 thats about right for an oil and filter on an XF 480 DAF.

And most of that is oil

Yep, as if being charged almost £100 an hour for a retard isn't enough, they have the cheek to charge you for double the time the work takes? Or is that extra time for bodging up the things he broke?
