for all those people here that do a service themselves...
1)what parts are you using and from where....
2)and what prices are you paying?....
i just went to get some oil, filter and plugs from repco (i know) and by some miracle the price for the oil filter has jumped from $20 odd dollars to $40
i mentioned this and suggested i would buy the filter elsewhere and another miracle...he can do it for $23! so was he just trying to charge an 'Alfa tax' or what?!
i bought some 15w40 castrol and some BPR6E NGk's and a Z421 Ryco filter
