Hi all
Just had the service light on my car (545) to change the sparkplugs
Rang through a couple of dealers ranging from ?150 to ?300 to get them changed.
Does any one know if its easy to DIY or best to get dealers to do it?
Cheers

Thanks, got the best price to ?240 (got misquoted on the ?140)
So i now ring kwik fit (local uk type garage), who can do the oil and spark plugs as a complete service for ?170..
If they do the work will the CBS lights go out? or does that need to be done by the dealer?
