First job then is a service - a proper one.

Do you REALLY know how to do your own vehicle maintenance, or not ? Remember, if the answer is 'I'm not sure', then the answer is probably 'No'. In which case those jobs would need to be done by a garage. Which will probably charge you anything up to £250 for that work. If you're lucky, you might know someone who is actually competent in home maintenance, who might do it for you for beer money. (though remember that a person good at maintenance isn't working under the bonnet every weekend).
Can't afford to keep a car well-maintained ? I got news for you. Lack of maintenance is more expensive then proper maintenance.
