Hey guys

I am a relativley in experianced car owner and i have no experiance of any thing mechanical, so bearing this in mind i have decided to service my car myself, i have a few questions.

1 are the service kits available on ebay of any use?
2 what tools will i need, cos i would hate to get halfway through and find i haven't got what i need.
3 are there any tips or tricks you can suggest to make the job go more smoothly??

cheers in advance

service kits are avalable yes: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-SERVICE-KIT-V ... 5d24a75418

and heres a guide on the hardest part: changing the oil (but even that is pretty easy)

Cheers guy, i'll defo use this when i go at it? question tho, that link you sent for the service kit only has 3 plugs, i haven't got my haynes yet to check, but the rest of the kits i've looked at have 4?? which is right?

you can also go to a wholesaler like pentland or dingbro. give them your reg and they will give you wot you need for service

cheers mate i'll have a look at them

depends what engine u have, if you have a 1.0 u need 3 plugs if not you need 4

that explains that then, i've got a 1.2 so i'll look out for the pack with 4 in it ta
