Time to service the 182, how are these prices?

[blambert]

I've got a 15% off voucher from eurocarparts for this weekend so was gonna order all the stuff for my 84k service.

You stick the reg in and it comes up with the parts that fit your car... but just to double check I'm not being a moron:

Oil Filter = http://tinyurl.com/2wx4dqp
Sump Plug & Washer = http://tinyurl.com/32lg9qp
Spark Plugs = http://tinyurl.com/33n2w9u (can't find the NGK part numbers for these, are they the PFR6E10's?)
Air Filter = http://tinyurl.com/2vjhtbp
Pollen filter = http://tinyurl.com/38ruxcm (What the difference between these two, apart from £8)

Total after discount = £73

+ 6 liters (1x5 and 1x1) of Silkolene Pro S from Opie Oils for £56

= £133

That an alright price for all those bits and bobs? Planning to do it myself next week. Fuel filter can wait till past 100k can't it? My wipers are ruined, are standard Bosch acceptable?

Oh and I thought it might be a good time to buy some ramps, anything obviously wrong with these?

My driveway slopes downwards slightly so I thought driving down onto the ramps would give me a good lift up to work under.

f**k me that's a lot of money on oil! Parts aren't the cheapest TBH sump washers are 10p! Air filter is cheaper from renault etc etc

Fred how much do you usually charge for a service? inc parts (wont need air filter/plugs).

 

[Fred@BTM]

£141inc vat for a basic 12K (oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter and check over)

Do I need to replace the plenum gasket... or can I ignore it? Sods law it'll fall apart when i take it off and I'll have to cycle to the dealers to get one so might buy one anyway.

Fred, they have a 20p sump plug & washer but it was from chinese company Corteco so I avoided it... but I guess in reality you cant really go wrong with a sump plug. Also opie with the club discount seemed to be the cheapest I could find for Silkolene?

What made you chose Silkolene?

 

[blambert]

Dunno really just was googling around and saw that quite a few people on here & on other forums use it & that it's meant to be a good one to use.

 

[blambert]

Aha!

Right that's that sorted. Sticking with Silkolene unless anyone has any thoughts?
