[quote=""fenj66""]glad you got it sorted.
all the more reason perhaps, for doing the servicing yourself. theres plenty of how to's on here for the not so technically minded.
theres nothing more satisfying than knowing youve done a good job yourself and saved a packet too! [/quote]

you know what - i used to do that with my previous land cruiser. like u say nothing to beat knowin u've put the best of parts and done it well. but the issue is getting the stamp on teh servicde book - which is what mattered eventually when trying to sell! not how well i had done it!

how do u get that bit sorted?

your quite right there, a few splodges of dealer ink in a service book convince people a good jobs been done and can add thousands to a cars value.
personally, i collect all receipts for filters/oils/parts etc and keep them with service book and record mileages the "self" services were done. not the best solution, i know, but i tend to keep my cars for a long time and prefer the knowledge of proper servicing than thinking i might have been ripped off and important jobs not actually done.
