its in the service part in the user manual. Tells you everything.

I think its an oil change, coolant change, brake fluid change, spark plug change and new filters.

Should cost under 200 quid - mine cost over 600 as I had to have the cambelt done aswell

They done:

oil change
pollen filter change
antifreeze change
screenwash

It cost around £100.

I got a major service done at Nationwide Autocentre in Swindon last week and it cost £178, got a £40 discount as I'm a member of AA (which only cost me £42!). they change all your fluids, plugs, filters, check everything and let you know what needs replacing. I only need a CV joint doing and he said apart from that the car was sound :D
