Darren350 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 In the next month or so my 2004 UK GT DE Engined 350 is due a service. A P1 service which I believe consists of an oil and filter change. I called Wessex Nissan of Bristol and got what I believe to be the craziest quote of all time. £337!!! I dared to ask the P2 cost and got a quote of £439. I fear these prices don't include VAT either!!! Arghhhh! I think a few bits off Clark Motorsport and a local indy would be best, lol Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 What a rip off... Mine was £140 from Japex, including oil filters etc, plus Ros did a few extra bits for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Its why i go to Kaizer motors. The service is nearly half the price, the quality of work is excellent and vs nissan dealerships he actually knows what he is doing with a zed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerz Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 If you're interested in using the same garage as me (a performance specialist) drop me a PM. The garage I used only a few months ago for a P1 service charged a lot less than everything stated above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxrob Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 What a absolute ****ing rip off I paid £230 for a P3 and I didn't like paying that Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I paid £130 for a p1 on my 370 at tdi north, that price is madness, don't go to Nissan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I did a P1 on mine. Filter & Oil was £50 all in. Same service on my wifes old Peugeot 307HDI came to £80 as the DPF type oil you have to get cost more than the fully synthetic I used in the zed. Its the same oil filter on the zed as you get on a nissan micra and indeed most Nissan cars, so its not expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I remember when I was in the Nissan dealership in Chester, I overheard the receptionist telling a customer that labor charges were £76 an hour....and that was in 2010! The garage up the road charge charges £30, last P1 cost me under £100. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus as my parking space is in front of a coach house where two other neighbours park I wouldn't trust either of them not to run me over, lol Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the jack to jack the front of the car up so you can get under and remove the undertray. Ideally you should use axle stands from a health & safety perspective and im paranoid about a car dropping on me so I always use them. But even so, they are like a tenner a pair if that, or you can use bricks, bits of timber or anything else you have laying about. The longest bit is undoing the undertray - they have like 18 screws which usually are all rusty. The oil filter is easy to get at on the side of the engine, and the whole oil change doesnt take long.
