Any ideas what kind/make of oil they used?

Yeah, Castrol Maganatec Semi-synth. I'm not too uphappy about the oil as I like to put more miles on the car before going for ultra slippery fully synthetic 'good stuff'.

My service was £78. I thought that was a bit on the steep side.

Just the cost of materials on the 1000 mile serivce. Some dealers ideas of the cost of materials are WAY different to others it seems

Indeed, one reason to import

Uh-oh ...

On Euro import Mainland charged me

labour £49.50 (1 hour)
parts £16.64
oil £26.00
Environmental disposal £1.50

plus VAT £16.39

Grand total = £110.03

IS THIS A RECORD?

still saved a fortune over a UK car though

With servicing costs like that they'll soon get the saving back from you!,

Speedking,

If you car is an import than it is correct they will charge you for the labour on the 1st service so that's in the ball park of what I've seen quoted from many dealers.

If it's a UK car then they ripped you off as they shouldn't charge labour.....

no, no labour charges on a u.k car only the cost of service parts.
