Vehicle Servicing
By the looks of my car its never been serviced, what does a service include? Part and full?
Cheers... Thinking of giving the car a good servicing for what its worth, got more warning lights on my dash than my Christmas Tree!!

Fair enough, full service pricing like £160? Do you supply the oils etc or?

Ring up a few local garages and get a price , once you've got the best price from a reputable garage go for itv, failing that buy a full service kit and a Haynes manual and get dirty

Oil Poisoning? You don't drink it!
Haynes Manual FTW.
Pick them up for £10 at the very most.

You will be fine mate , I think it's good to have a basic knowledge of the engine and how to do certain jobs when the occasiOn arises , also don't think you will get oil poisoning , maybe dermatitis , get some rubber gloves if your really worried

Oil out first mate.
As said above, oil and filter, air filter, spark plugs, coolant, check wheels for play in the bearing, check ball joints, give everything a good check over (like bushes etc), serpentine belt, more than likely (if youve done more than 80k i think it is on a saxo) your cam belt should be changed. Id put an oil flush through her if you dont htink shes been serviced or if the oils duttyyy as fuck. Maybe some fuel cleaner, check your wiper blades, screen wash, lights, check for oil leaks (rocker cover gaskets are a fucker for this) and Box oil.
Basically, get a haynes manual if you dont know shit about cars if not pay a garage or mechanic, id offer for you but your farrrr away!
A proper service will do your car wonders, but not your wallet if your not mechanically minded im afraid!

I would strongly disagree.
All that old carbonated oil is nice and snug around your piston rings. Its plugged any leakes that you may have and is nice and sludgy around the valve seals.
If you add a detergent and clean all this out, you may cause your self some problem's.
My previous car had very litter service history. I ran it for 500 miles a time on Halfords cheap oil. I kept changing the oil and filter for a good 2000 miles. It cleaned the surface carbon off the parts but did deeply penetrate any gunk on the rings/ valves. When i was happy, i filled her up with a new filter with some premium oil. (You get what you pay for with oil)
If your really anal, send your injectors off to be cleaned.

Theres alot more involved in a service than just the parts, id say on a full service the parts make up for about 30% of the work. full 60,000 mile service sheet for a saxo is 3 sides of A4 checklist
