how old is the car and what mileage if you don't mind me asking? Spark plugs were recommended but i'm skipping as the car only has 18k on it..

If it's of any interest to anyone, I paid 963.18 last week for a major service, spark plugs and brake fluid (Leeds OPC). Which is about what I was expecting.

Similar price here too for a 4 year service. Baulked at the plugs initially but decided to have them done despite low miles. VERY surprised to find that I could tell they had been done, performance feels subjectively improved. Also find that the brakes improve after the two year fluid change, which I do find very strange.

63 plate and just over 20k. Overall, I don't think the cost of spark plugs too outrageous given the costs of everything else, and if it's on Porsche's service list as an item to change at 4 years then I'm generally just happy to get it done to manufacturers specifications. Even though your car is also low mileage I'd just get them changed
