Hi,
Due my 72 month 96k mile service which says plugs should be changed.
I'm going to an independent Jag specialist as the main dealer wanted £1050 for this service and I'm out of warranty.
Indy has quoted £250 for the service plus £15 per plug and £150 for fitting them.

This all seems reasonable but he did question why I wanted to change the plugs when the cars only done 37,300 miles. I prefer to keep the service schedule correct to the manufacturers recommendations and heard it was wise to stop the plugs seizing in the head, any views?

I'd be interested to know as well. My car will be due next year and will have 27000kms - less than half your mileage.

I bet that price doesn't inc brake fluid, supercharger belt, pollen filter, diff service, gearbox service etc
I would be more worried about all your fluids than the spark plugs which are good for 100k.

Hi Timbo,
Pollen filter included, Brake fluid change is @£100. This service does not call for Diff oil change but I am tempted based on Forum scare stories but which has a bigger impact on oil quality, time in service or amount of miles it's been used and abued for?
I supply ZF with parts for this gearbox and they said it's sealed and good for 100k plus KM's so not so worried about this.
Supercharger belt also not on service list.
