hi folks , i have now got 19500 miles on the clock . the last recorded service was at 12000 miles just before i took ownership .

in my opinion its starting to sound a bit " tappety " , despite oil change , etc at about 15000 miles .

To get to the point has anybody any ideas on service prices and how long to do etc .

,07 gen 2 by the way !!!!

is it a possibly a diy job doing the tappets ??- as i,m pretty handy at spanner twiddling , but a bit short on time -----------and some say very short on patience too !!!!
 
Got my valves done at 16k service, were ok tho' Used a local bloke to do the service and was about 300.
 
Mines rattling like a skeleton having a **** in a dustbin, it's an 09 with almost 16k on it I had an 06 gen 2 and a 02 gen 1, I don't remember the others being so rattly.....
 
21k miles and mine have never needed adjusted.
 
Ive skipped mine (12900 miles), i will do them next time round......
