ive thought about doing it myself but the dealers price is winning at the moment, got a call back from them and its now £340 for the big service! im hoping to treat myself to brakes aswell, where did you get yours from Wilcs???

Excellent news! Ive been quoted £350-£400 by Honda and the other garages I've checked are all around the same price!

hello guys, as it says im due the BIG one in the next 800 miles!! can anyone tell me if they change or adjust the chain on this service? i had my valve clearences checked on the last service for peace of mind really so i shouldnt need that done again unless they are going to do it anyway?? what...
