    Hi All,
    I was just wondering what a "full service" actually entails? What do they actually look at/do? This would be through a main dealer. Also, would it depend on what service it was for a full service to be different?

    Thanks

    Thanks for that. So it seems that they wouldnt actually check the engine (through diagnostics) or check condition of clutch and gearbox?

    Some dealers would connect their diagnostics to the car as part of a health check, the only check they would do on a clutch or gearbox is a road test, but unless you have a specific problem i wouldn't worry about your clutch
