How much for the brake fluid change, mines due? Going to buy and fit new rear disc and pads then get it booked in.
 
Cleaned the Rangie.What a pain especially the roof.Sometimes I forget the roof,no one can see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Carried out a full oil change, air filter, oil and cabin filter change including new spark plugs. Now I have a warm and fuzzy DIY feeling.

If it helps, I paid £78.72 a few weeks ago from a main dealer. £11 for the fluid, the rest was labour and vat
 
I already know I'm looking at a bill on the high side of £300+ to have the springs fitted and the alignment done anyway, which is probably why I didn't bother asking about the fluid change... But thanks Stuart :thumbsup:
 
Today I actually got my diy aux lead to work at last after getting maplins to give me the correct resistor this time

Also tried out my new jack and axle stands, took off all the wheels ,( fronts were well stuck on ) cleaned the brake calipers then painted them all gloss black, gave the wheels a good clean, copper greased hub faces and wheel bolt threads and then put it all back together again

Off to work tomorrow for a rest
