Really daft question on servicing an S2000.
Discussion
My S2000 is going in for its 27K service at the end of the month and as this is expensive I would like to know weather the garages has changed the stuff it should.
For the example, is there a way of checking to see if the brake fluid has been changed? Also what about the oil in the rear diff, is where a way of checking this also has been done?
I’m a little paranoid about the garage missing bits because I can’t see them. Or do you think I’m worrying about nothing?

I'm sure the 27k service includes checking and adjusting the valve clearances. Honda main dealer never checked or adjusted mine but ticked the box on the service sheet for it.. Ended up doing it myself, least now I know it's been done as you could hear a few ticks here and there before the adjustment.

If you want to check if the rocker cover has been removed for valve inspection, adjustment during service.. on the sneaky side prior to service remove the black plastic cover located on top of the intake manifold (right side under bonnet) use a 10mm socket and remove the 2 black nuts. Clean any dirt,oil with a cloth and place a sticky label or a thin piece of gaffer tape between the rocker cover and head (5 min job). Replace the cover.
After the service check to see if the tape or label has been removed or ripped.
As mentioned previously Tipex or scratches can also be used to check if any itmes have been removed or changed.
Good Luck, Remember not all dealers are the same.
