Ah.... the answer is no, you will have to pay for your own service here, a uk car has the parts free but not the labour, you will have to pay for both (sucks i know but.....)

About 58 quid inc labour i think (that was my 37.5k service cost at the local dealer) but i had the same problem as you did with my eu import, but IM wont budge on this as they will only pay the parts on their cars.......
