My V plate (Feb 2000) S2000 has just breezed through another MOT and service today with 98k on the clock.

For the abuse this car takes, the reliability is nothing short of amazing.

5 and half years into ownership and bushes aside, I have yet to spend any money on this car apart from basic servicing and consumables. The hood, although still working perfectly, is starting to look a bit raggy in places but nothing severe enough to make me actually change it yet.

Shall I just take it to the Dealer or are the valve clearances a simple enough job for a non Honda mechanic to do?
