40k service

**johnny kebab** · 30th December 2010, 20:57

Hi All,
Cars due it's 40k service and I was wondering how much of it I can do myself? I'm not too bad with a spanner and screwdriver but the more technical side of things I'd rather get the professionals to deal with! The cars an '08 1.9 CDTI hatchback.

Any help's appreciated.

As it's not 3 years old get it done at a vat reg'd garage and keep the warranty up.

If your not worried then it's pretty much just oil and filter, air filter and maybe the pollen filter.

Commentators curse
You might make a load of claims in those last 3 months
That is what happened on my car, with a new set of SCV and clutch; cost of each in the region of £500
