This has confirmed I’m really out of touch with dealer servicing rates. I’m very happy that I’m able to do most servicing and basic repairs on my vehicles, but always willing to learn more so I’m also interested in Daves idea. Steve 2 Link to post

MatBin 5,100 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) I wonder if that included valve check, 5 hrs seems quite a while for oil and filter change, though the air filter is a bit of a pig I believe? Are the sparkplugs really £26 plus vat each? What are they made of? Solid Gold? Edited August 9, 2020 by MatBin Link to post

I’d be suspicious of any dealer that changed them at 16k, they are good for well over 50k, not like plugs of old. Mine were still in spec on my NC700 at 32k. Link to post

Maybe can be done online by Zoom?)) @MatBin, spark plugs a little cheaper in the US if you don't mind the shipping cost. https://www.ngk.com/product.aspx?zpid=41472 Or about 14 quid each from Green Spark Plug Co. Ridiculous how much dealers mark up Edited August 10, 2020 by Jamesco Link to post
