My FR TFSI has just passed 9,000, miles and it is time to look for its first service, what sort of price should I be looking at? Is there a list of warranty issues I should get them to check while they have the car, I have a creaking stearing rack at slow speeds so that is top of the list...

Just had my 52 plate LC serviced at Nationwide Autocentres - they tell me the front brake pads are 75% worn and the rears 80%. They want £90 to replace the fronts and £75 to do the rears - is that a bit excessive? :confused: The dearest I've found on the net is £60 and £40, not including...

Hi... The story goes: Coming off the back of 4x13hr shifts (I have to make it clear I was tired) I had to quickly avoid a car pulling out of a junction like a crazy bugger on the other side of the road, I turn (to give him the obligatory scowl) and turn back just to clip the kerb with my back...

As above, going by the forum its a easy enough job so how much should I be looking for someone to charge me for fitting a rear axle? How do the wheels connect to the rear axle is it one big part or would I need to buy those aswell?

Hi folks Can anyone give me a breakdown of parts required and their costs for a 40k service. Trade costs would be great. Having a dispute over dealer pricing. Also what is the standard quote generally for the total work and parts. Thanks in advance.

Just been quoted ~£290 for a 20K service on a 05 plate LCR. Brake fluid change is extra at ~£55. Seems steep to me. Are there any dealers in West Berkshire that might beat this - and do dealers price match? Did a search and most people seem to be paying less...
