Servicing is extremely easy and once you do your own service for the first time, THATS when it hits you and makes you question why the hell the dealers charge so much. You don't even have to jack the car up, and you'll be thinking "I pay at least £150 for this?"
A basic socket set and you can do it yourself in under an hour. My last full service took me 35 mins!
I agree with this Nick. I'm fed up of it so I've been doing my own work. By no means am I a mechanic... I haven't even opened one mechanics guide. I just read up on what I want to achieve, watch videos, read posts, ask people... Then have a go. Can't really go far wrong with a simple service. If you get the right tools then it's easy

I've now changed, battery, plugs, leads, coil pack, MAF sensor (difficult to get to on the RS), Air filter, pollen filter, discs and pads, all the bulbs. It's all simple stuff but to be done by a garage would have cost a small fortune. The sensor would have been 1-2hours labour at £60. Cost me nothing.
