should have been more specific that was over 24 months for 3 years worth of servicing and it was £29.20
Type R and VTEC owners

Who makes the latter?
Just phoned someone local and they said they have Avon or evergreen for £85 a corner. Don't fancy Avon and never even heard if evergreen!

i thought £700 wasn't too bad for years 3 4 and 5 including MOT's etc.
any thoughts on the parking sensors?

If your car is new, £700 for air filters and tyres kicked, no thanks.
You should look up the servicing checklist, do it yourself and keep the receipts.

I was a bit agressive on down shifting to overtake the other night.
A warning light flashed up on my dash for 1-2 seconds in the top right then went away, still trying to figure out what it meant

What size? FN2 owners seem to steer clear of the RE050A tyres now. Goodyear Eagle and Pilot Sports seem to be well talked about.

tyres on the drive have 2x MICHELIN 205/45R17 88W PIL SPORT 3 GRNX XL for £287.62 fitted
Got these fitted now:
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A
205/45 R17 W (88)
£132 each
/edit having driven the car now this tyres are obviously MUCH better that the toss that was on there before. No more tramlining and the card feels a lot more stable and solid.
Very happy
The car got a couple of advisories on the MOT about the anti roll bar linkages having excessive play.
I was wondering if this could cause the symptoms my car has where it knocks a little on bumpy roads and at high speeds it seems to judder. Tried it with the new tyres and it still does these things although the judder is much less aggressive.
Thanks,

No, they are a premium tyre. Ignore the haters, Potenza's suit the Type R's best due to their stiff sidewalls. Other tyres such as the GSD3 may match/beat them in terms of grip, but they lack feel on Type R's due to their somewhat softer sidewalls.
