For tyres, the dealer will charge you a lot more than necessary. Try Event Mobile, who will do you a decent deal and supply and fit at your house or work.

Join s2kuk.com and find out which dealers will give a discount. I, along with many others, use Crown Honda in Bushey who give 20% off. For my recent 54k service, which is similar to the 27k, but has the added expense of new spark plugs, I paid around

I bought my '05 S from Alan Day (Southampton) and they've been very good. I also had slight corrosion on the wheel nut covers and they swapped all 4 without hesitation.

Good luck.

If you can get them done while you're down in your parents' general neck of the woods, Micheldever Tyres have been mentioned on a number of times on here for being very reasonably priced and good at avoiding damaging your wheels.

Don't let the dealer put new tyres on for you! They'll charge you way more than you need to pay.

My advice would be to ring round these dealers and get a firm price (and haggle if necessary). Last year i got my 27K service done for

Ok so assuming I want to supply my own oil, am I supplying gearbox, diff and all oils or what? I had a quick look in the faq, seems like I need synthetic 10W30 (5 litres), then 75W90 GL-5 for the diff and 5W/80 GL-4
for the gearbox, sound about right?
