Ford Fiesta V reg 1.25 Zetec - Servicing and parts? - Drive_R

Hi

It looks like the problems I'm experiencing with my car (issue posted in technical forum) may be down to plugs, HT leads and a good service.

I know it varies, but how much would I expect to be paying for:

  • a full service (what does this include?)
  • spark plugs (and leads?)
  • set of brake flexi-hoses for the brake pipes

Would appreciate if someone could give an indication of what to shell out for the above, inclusive of parts & labour.

Thanks
