I'd go for D also mate.
They have a quickfit van on site on the day so you might also want to take a spare set of brake pads just in case. Get some Pagid blues, and if you get em fitted before the day (and keep your old set for emergencies) will probably make the day more fun as well.
Brmmmmmm! Whilst in for the service maybe think also about getting higher spec brake fluid, ask the guys what they suggest.
Mines in for a brake bleed and oil change today, see you on the 1st Rich!

Stef - Just seen your antics at the 'ring, I can feel a trip to Germany coming on soon.

Harj.
I think he wanted to know which ONE to do, not which three!!!!
Personally, I'd do D) as the 45k service is a big one with cambelts and stuff.
