    Hey,

    I need toget my car serviced. It has 124k miles on it. It's a Seat Toledo 1.9TDI (110BHP model).

    It's not had the timing belt changed since 49k miles (or so the service book says)

    Theres a couple of little things wrong with it.

    - Remote central locking. The key doesn't work.
    - The electric mirrors don't work.
    - Rear left window is a bit jammed.
    - Front headlight is a little wonky
    - Glove box spring handel is broken off.
    - Cover is missing from the cup holder.

    apart from that she's lovely ;-D

    If i bring this in to a garage and ask them to give it a full service. Do you know roughly how much this will cost? Will the main dealer do all that needs to be done? or can i bring it anywhere.

    Cheers

    All I can help you with is the timing belt- I got mine done lately (01 Bora Diesel) and cost me 300euro from a local mechanic I know very well!So in a dealer I'd imagine it would cost way more.Its well due a change on your car going by mileage!
    The interior stuff and things not working/falling off is typical VW/Seat/Skoda!
    Might get some of that second hand in a breakers yard.
    Good choice of car though, give great economy and are good to go.

    New battery in the key?

    Did you check the fuses?

    If you are any bit confident why not try taking off the door card and seeing what is wrong

    Loose? New headlights are generally bloody expensive, might be an idea to find one from a scrapper rather than asking a main dealer just to fit one.

    Ebay is the normally the best for getting these small things. Scrap dealers normally dont want to bother selling you such a small part and main dealers can't be bothered ordering it (or else charge too much, or require you buy a whiole dashboard or something...)
