Default servicing/costs?

how much is the average cost of servicing on a classic ej20? is the servicing minor, major, minor, major etc? i would normally do servicing myself but have herd that spark plugs can be a pain, is that right? or does it just take abit longer to do? cheers

Hi mate, ref spark plugs, don't believe the hype! They are no big deal, remove battery to make it easier, and having the right length extension bar helps!

* Coolant - if you have no history of it being changed within the last 2 years.

* Cambelt (and tensioners) - if you have no history of it being changed withiin the last 45,000 miles.
