   I know alot of people are going to say stuff like "do it yourself its cheaper" but I want it done properly without all the hassle.
   
   So how much would you say a reasonable price for a service is?
   Cheers

   depends on level of service you want really, a basic oil and filter,check brakes service is around 75 pounds. full service will cost more as there would be oil and filter change,fuel and air filter change,plugs,poss cam belt etc

   ah right, cheers mate, well as i'm not sure as to whether my saxo has ever been serviced, i feel that i should go for a full one, although i recently changed the plugs myself

   whats the milage? if its over 50k, cambelt and waterpump should be done aswell. if thats the case it can cost £150+ for parts and labour for them alone.
