   I'm going to be servicing my car myself in a few weeks so I will be buying spark plugs, oil filter, oil and maybe new brake pads and discs (depending how worn they are) it's only a simple service as money isn't great at the moment. So, how much roughly will I be looking at paying for oil filter, sparkies and oil?
   
   And also how much oil will i need if i'm changing it, i was thinking 5 litres?
   
   Thanks all!

   Motaquip is a good bet as they use pug/citroen approved parts might be worth a look.

   Use good oil like castrol not halfords own as it really does help your engine last longer and protect it.
   
   Oil £26
   Filter £6
   Sparkys £20 - £30
   Fuel filter £6
   
   everywhere varies in price these seem to be halfords sort of price best getting it on eBay or on trade from a car parts place.
   
   I got my oil filter, fuel filter and sparkys free from my uncle as he works from Fram filters
   
   Just bought the oil...
