Any recommendations? Trying to compare main dealer prices with any reliable independents.
Cheers for your help.

Depending on where you are based in Essex, I use a mobile mechanic (who I have used for around 17 years and completely trust), being mobile,he does not have to pass on the overheads associated with having a premises, and at the same time you don't have to sit around at the garage or arrange a lift to and from said garage if you didn't want to wait.
I have passed his number to a few people on here who have had no issues also.
If you are local enough and you want his number, let me know

I'm based in Chafford on the A13, really don't mind travelling if the service is premium. At 50k now so could need me diff oil changed as well? Any advice on what I should be expecting for cost on service etc..?

Xtreme in Boreham did mine in 2008 for around £270.
3 years on it lists on their site 50k New Age interim with cambelt £384.52
Xtreme did my 80k/8 year oil & brake fluid service this week for around £180 but I supplied my own engine oil.
Always great service from Paul at Xtreme CLICK.

What oil would you recommend? I'm used to Castrol in my previous cars (non-scooby!) but i'm sure people would cringe at the thought!
