Presume that's for your XJ? I've seen a lot more, and a few less TBH, it's not a bad price. But, you could do it yourself in about an hour for about £50.

Mate that's a steal.

Come down where I went and you get quoted around £250 for a simple oil/filter change, spark plug change and air filter change Shocked

A lot of the items say 'check'. Checking items will be cheaper than adjusting/fixing items. They will charge you for their time (plus parts), the longer the job take, the more it will cost.

I think if you add the cam chain rattle, the quote will increase.

What do you think the quote is for, possibly 2 hours? Sounds cheap. They will probably add VAT, so keep that in mind.

There's about 5 hours of work there, remove and clean brake calipers? that'll take a a while. spark plugs are £5 each, so £20, oil and filter is £40(?) and £20 for an air filter?

I guarantee that 75% of all that won't get done though.

The last time i took it in, he said he would sort it when i book a service, i have sent a lot of business his way with Chinese bikes.

I'm dropping the bike off at 9am and picking it back up at 1pm, if he sends all the time on it who knows.

Managed to remove the screws in my ancient Kwak's master cyl with a cordless drill set to about half torque. The clutch in the drill vibrates the screwdriver bit and undies the screw.

This was after days of WD40 and rude words...
