£17 a spark plug

[SHORTY]

How f**king dear are the spark plugs for the clio 172
£17 thats a f**king rip off
and it cost £270 for a f**king service my car has reached the 36000 miles and needs the major service but i did not think it would cost this f**king much

 

[172man]

u dont need no spark plugs there made from the most expensive metal last light years

36k service is a rip

 

[SHORTY]

Cheers 172 man i was going to book the car in
i did seem a lot of money

 

[172man]

u get helix ultra put in?

 

[BenR]

yup, sparkers are precious metal variety and have a long service life.

Ask them about it. see what they say.

 

[SHORTY]

do you think 36500 is high mileage for a 172 reg in 2000
also what is helix ultra

 

[Tom]

oil

 

[SHORTY]

is it any good, but £270 is f**king dear for a service
is 36500 high mileage

 

[BenR]

not very high no.......

But Renault set the prices for parts and the number of HRs you have to charge, only the dealer sets its own labour rates.

But they do have to charge what is needed to keep afloat. Its not like it costs them 15 quid.

 

[SHORTY]

Thanks ben r for the info

Cheers mate ,

how is everyone up so late i thought i was the only one

 

[BenR]

cause im a looser....lol

 

[SHORTY]

no not you how is everyone up tonight

 

[Jas]

I thought the plugs only had to be changed at 70k miles?

 

[Jonathan]

Accessory belt is 36K or 2 years for the MK1 172, thats gonna add a good chunk to the service bill.
