Hi everyone.

Just a quick question,

what should they be?

I've got my mechanic doing a full fluid change tomorrow and he said he'd also check the valve clearances for me if I found out what they are.

I can't seem to get the search working on my phone so sorry if this has already been covered.

Hope he knows to do with the engine stone cold.

jack_ako

Yep, the car has been parked on his ramp for 15 hours so should be cold by now.

he has been a mechanic for a few yrs now. He's just never done this on an S before.

Doesn't need to be stone cold Rich under 38deg c will do.

My 54k service was £350 at a honda Dealer, including all fluids and plugs. the did the valve clearances perfectly. (This was about 5 years ago though).

Not all Honda dealers are rubbish, and it's worth pointing out that they are offering a price match service at present. Get a quote for a job locally and they'll match it.

Depends how cold your stones are!

Yes I agree that not all dealers are useless. My local ones are Holden Norwich and Lings Lowestoft. Both have always been very good.

I've just had a bill for £105 from him for changing engine, gearbox and diff oils, then doing the valves. I didn't need the filters changing and I'll be doing the plus myself. Over the winter.
