Mmm, not much of a full service if you don't change them. Seems like you are only asking for an oil change and filter replacing, and the brake pads a quick look-see. You could probably do that at home if you have some axle-stands, and wish to cut 100quid off your bill. My other car is an Audi A4 97 and I've just started to do my own servicing. Rewarding experience with a Haynes manual in tow.

Inspect those items and replace only if bad. You may just clean the plugs and for fuel filter no need as they last long if original is fitted. You may replace if vehicle is jerking or remove, blow through to check if blocked then make a decision to fix back or replace.

Thanks very much,i wanted some advice as whether i needed the fuel filter changing as i had it replaced at 54000 miles the service book doesn't say only for diesels. as for the plugs i don't know what intervals they need replacing, my local dealer will not tell me because i am not getting it serviced there. they wanted £928.00 to fit my catalytic converter.
