Home servicing Cayenne Turbo - bad idea?
Discussion
Looking through the service/maintenance schedule and it appears my 03 Cayenne Turbo is due a major service, spark plugs and also over due brake fluid change.
A quick call to the local OPC that used to work on my 996 C4S and I'm looking at £870 inc VAT for all the work to be done. Ouchy..
Given the car is likely to be a keeper and have little resale value, is there any harm in buying the service parts and carrying out the service at home? Any one have any experience on undertaking a home service on a Cayenne? Is it tricky at all?
A combination of me, my Dad and my Brother in law means we should have the basic mechanical know how to get it done I would have thought. I expect I can get the service parts for less than £200 and would rather pocket the £670 cash!

Cheers guys - thanks for the responses and apologies for delayed response.
I got OPC to quote as they were competitive with my 911 and threw in collection/drop off too. However, I've got a quote from a specialist to do all the work and fit two new spare tyres (I have the tyres already) for 500 all in. Given the price of parts is likely to be in the region of 200 pounds I think it's worth having them do it - given the complications and non-straightforward nature of modern cars.
Good to have the useful information though.
