I wonder would they do my 6 cylinder BMW if I asked....

Seems like a good deal anyway!

They will do any car you like, they will just charge more for the 6 cylinder.

I'd be a bit dubious as they were offering a similar deal of €149 plus 1 year's AA membership when I left my car in for a service in Airside Renault about 8 weeks ago. However when I asked for this deal they said it was only a cursory check and didn't include oil change, etc so I went for the standard service and that set me back €280.

Make sure you find out exactly what you're getting service wise.

Typical. My local dealer (Cork) isn't on the list of participants!

The Supertooth One is a practical hands free kit that is compatible with all Bluetooth mobile phones.

You can answer calls by voice activation, and the handy automatic connection system means it will automatically recognise your mobile phone and connect as soon as you get into the car. Multipoint technology even means you can use it with several different mobiles (a personal phone and a work phone for example).

What's more, the Supertooth One uses DSP technology to eliminate echo and background noise for optimal audio quality, and Bluetooth A2DP connectivity is on-hand for transferring high-quality audio files. Plus with the Full Duplex Supertooth One 2 people can chat away at the same time.

The Supertooth One can be easily attached to your vehicle's windscreen and is ideal for keeping in touch safely while you're on the road!

Specifications:

- Dimensions: 120 x 64 x 21 mm
- Weight: 100 g
- Talk time: 15 hours
- Standby battery life: 800 hours
- Charging time: 3 hours
- Power: Li-ion battery
- Interface: Bluetooth v2.0

Accessories supplied:

- In-car charger
- Sunroof clip

This is hardly groundbreaking price wise is it? I had an 07 Focus serviced by a Ford main dealer for c.€150 last year.

Here's a decent bluetooth visor mounted unit. Cheap as chips too.

In that case, I'm well and truly p1ssed off cause for €280, all I got was an oil and filter change, no plugs or anything else apart from the "visual inspection" (yeah right, pity they missed the part where they broke the dipstick until I pointed this out to them) and topping up levels (which I do myself anyways).

I've been getting my car serviced in my main dealer just to keep within the warranty but now that thats expired, I'm going to start servicing my car myself as I can do the oil, plugs and filters in about 20 minutes and it'll only cost me about €50 for the parts and consumables in my local motor factors. With the money I'll save, I can get a decent bluetooth system.
