Hi Steve , I suppose it depends on what's been done but generally full service is

Plugs
Engine oil change plus filter
Brake fluid change if it's not been done
General inspection , check for water leaks and play on wheels ect
Grease door hinges , locks
I also change all the fuses as they get a bit crapped up and this year I have changed all the relays in the footwell as some where getting a bit dodgy .
Cost £300 for 1/2 service £600 Ish for full service .

Hope that helps a bit . Tux
