Did you not figure out I was taking the piss about the charges being at cost?

I'm old and jaded. I consider nothing to be impossible, and find separating truth from fiction more difficult each passing year!
This was page two of the charging details:
I think there’s a good chance 15w40 is the wrong oil, that will cost more in fuel to run between services than you save on oil.
I’ve always done my own servicing because I can and only know one mechanic that I would trust and he is the guy I trained 30years ago.
No one has mentioned checking the diff oil, checking and adjusting the brakes, checking the lights all work, plugging in the scan tool to check for faults. Making sure you are safe to drive the car.
Theres also a few other simple things you check on certain vehicles that helps keep them alive longer or go better that we dont write on the job sheet but get plenty of comments saying that what ever we did on the service made the vehicle go heaps better

this was how i found my sump plug just after i bought it. some people just cant be taught how to do basic jobs on a car. P.S. it leaked but not after i replaced it for the princely cost of $10
Fuk custom sump plug
I remember having to weld a nut onto my mondeo sump plug which inlet a mate service it for free. Rattled on the sump plug for me mint.lol.
Yep, see the two dents in the washer, it had three of them, meaning three oil changes after super mod.
I had to use a few of my tricks to remove my brother in laws sump plug after he rounded it, I’m not saying you shouldn’t change your own oil but many should not be allowed tools.
You would just love doing the Terrano. Doesn't matter which way I try...the only way to reach is hanging plurry near upside down over left mudguard with arms fed down side of engine to undo or do up filter...can't for life of me get oil filter wrench in there....reminds me I must hurry up and do the change.
I think there's a good chance 15W40 is the right oil for a old tdi 4.2 engine.Its been running smooth as for the last 15yrs on that oil and never given a problem.You sound like a garage looking for work,spin a bit of bull shit to get new clients in to yr work shop,then ripp them off.
I used to love the sound of a v8 now days when I hear one coming I cringe. Its usually a yank piece of shit that every expert has had a go at first and now we have to sort it out
