I wouldn't let a dealer touch my car

oil would be wrong
plugs wrong
air filter
fuel filter
etc etc

PE and extreme do servicing aswell as most of the other tuning ppl
still I would provide my own oil (redline 10W40)

Maybe they bought it from Iain Lichfields dealership and it was modified to a Type25 (which is quoted as 350+ bhp) ???
