i pay a garage to do it, i could do it myself but i think it will look better in the history of the car if has lots of reciepts ect for servicin, and if i do it myself and muck it up i will have noone to blame!!:p

I do it myself too, has to be done regularly on a car like this, even if it is a pain in the freezing cold!

I do most of it myself except for the major jobs like the timing belt and stuff, I have Access to a fully stocked garrage aswell just need to give a days notice and i can have my car up on a Hydrolic lift or an hours notice and can have the car parked over a pit :p

I do it myself, regularly aswell. Its due one this weekend!
Garages are to expensive, and half the time cant even give it a proper service.
