Hi guys my ST is coming up to 31,000 miles and due a major service. I have spoke to ford dunton and they quoted me £279! which is rather steep! Alot more then I was expecting to say the least! I was wondering if theres any other places that are reccomended that are cheaper?

you will need,
oil,
oil filter,
air filter,
pollen filter,
spark plugs,
maybe brake fluid change and pas fluid change
with the fez's 3rd year service we bought the parts for all of about £50 and then my mate who works at citreon did the service and stamped the book
ford wanted £250 for the service and MOT and that was with a big discount!

my mate who works at Ford in Rayleigh does all my services for me and is extremely cheap as he gets discount on parts and does the labour himself, my last service cost me less than £100 and he does anything else little/major you might want him to do, let me know if you want his details

I just do mine myself, never been that bothered about stamps in the book (when I bought it, it only had a few from indys).
Takes an hour or two at most and saves you more in the long run than the amount your car depreciates from not having the stamp imo.
As for spark plugs, I tend to do mine fairly often, about every 8-10k or so. Always notice a difference after changing them.

I changed mine at 60k and they seemed exactly the same as the new ones...
i just changed our spark plugs after 23k and it runs much nicer 
it does say 40k on the ford service information
