Many Honda dealers throw in a free MOT with a service, but as you want specific items (the fluid changes) you're best off giving them a call. You're probably looking somewhere around £200 or so if you choose to go that route. Most likely less from an independent.

My last service with Honda consisted of
Oil and oil filter change
Gearbox oil change
Air filter and pollen filter change
New spark plugs
I went to Honda because I wanted to maintain the service book record - Honda charged £155 for the labour, and the stamp in the book
I bought all the consumables myself costing £150.

Hope this helps.

Service interval for the differential is long before the gearbox.

so just got off the phone from andy reeve performance which is a specialist in kings lynn. quoted 290 for a mot, service diff and gearbox oil change. They want another 190 quid for valve clearances, this sounds hefty to me?

Honda will do the valve clearances for £100 Car Servicing & MOT | Fixed Price Service Plans | Honda UK and the basic service for £175.

If you are an S2KUK member, they often give a discount, too.
