I think so.  I've paid more than that for my 10 & 20 so far.

Pretty normal really, I got some quotes recently for 30k services, as mine was done last month. You can see the quotes here:

Quote from: "GSB"My '2's in need of a service, so out of interest, I've done some shopping around...


Chelmsford:
£110 for the service, £40 to change thebrake fluid.

Rayliegh:
£75.55 / £48.59

Romford:
£125 / £44.47

Colchester:
£105.84 / £51.53

Ipswich:
£106.25 / £41.25

Most are about £100 for the service and £50 for the brake fluid with the Exception of Romford who wanted 25% more for a basic service...  s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  

Taking it to Jemca in Tottenham though where the MR2 ROC discount takes the price just under the others... just! They are also throwing in a front suspension fix (the old favorite - rattley top mount syndrome) and a courtesy car as well, so I cant complain to much...

Well... They've re-lubricated the top mounts once, and carried out a 4 wheel alignment, and I have to admit, its 99% better. I only ever hear an occasional loud clunk now when I turn up a dropped kerb into a petrol station or driveway, and that's quite rare as well. It seems to be far better than many others are complaining of, as even though my tyres are nearly 100% worn, it rarely makes a noise..
