| What Service Kit? Costly or Cheaper? |
|
Need to service the D3 toy - max of 4000 miles a year.
There are obviously a few kits,
I am tempted by this at JGS but wondering about the oil.

Or is there a big need to go up to the AF ones other than supporting AF which i try to do where possible?

AF kit contains premium branded filters and UK made oil.
Britpart kit contains the cheapest Britpart own brand filters and who knows whose oil branded up as Britpart.
Explains the price difference. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

I would not use either, a decent fuel filter alone costs 25 odd quid.
Quality named filters and some decent oil, cant say granville strikes me as quality?

I buy my service kit from Beam Ends in Staffordshire. I only needed 5 litres of oil as still had some left over from the service previous. Cost less than £50. Oil, filter, fuel filter, sump plug, pollen filter. Think they are Allmakes4x4 stuff. Never had an issue. Used genuine stuff once at nearly triple the price. I only use the cheaper stuff now.
