cheaper to buy the bits from vaux and fit them really, but if your car has FVSH it will miss a stamp due to diy even though your using there parts

I will do it for £80








haha, no seriously just do it yourself,

I think you will need a T45 torx for the sump bung/plug and 32mm socket or similar if its a paper oil filter?

£100 is scandalous just for an oil+filter change, we would do a full service at work for less than that.
