I change the oil every 4-5k and service every 10-12k or 1 year.

Google 'Ford Etis' Enter your reg number and it will give you options to show the schedule for different mileages/years. It is the same as other foci in that the intervals are 12,500 or 1 year but may have different service items to some lower models.

I do my own every 5k & have done 50k plus now a basic service should be less than £100

A 'standard' service at a dealer should be the same as a normal mk1 focus, though the RS has some items listed more regularly than standard, like tappet clearances for example. However ime they will tag on the price of the air filter as an extra as its about £35 more than a normal air filter. Depending on where you are in the country it should be in the region of £200 total.

I service my own, the average ford dealer has no more knowledge about these cars than any random backstreet garage tbh.

Paid about £200 at RS specialist, but I had a non standard air filter (full service)
I would service it yearly, spark plugs yearly (unless already on the yearly service?)
Would think it would be standard 12500miles

Best done every year, don't know of many that do more than 10-12k a year.
Unless its laid up, in which case whenever its going back on the road.

Minor service £100, rarely more than 150-£200 for something bigger. Cost less important than making sure you are using someone that knows what to look at on the car (i.e. not Ford as mentioned above), using the correct oil etc.
