v50 2.0D fun and games

[jnkellar]

took my 2004 V50 2.0D in today for its 30000 mile service

and it cost me 540 quid! is this normal?
this is the 'big' service - the other one normally costs me about 320
ukp.

also, under warranty, I am getting the following things done:
- new front brake discs (rotors for those of you on the 'other' side of
the Atlantic ). The current ones have warped, making the steering
wheel wobble under braking
- new driver's seat - current one creaks and one of the leather panels
has worn quite badly
Has anyone else had this sort of thing?

I complained about slight exhaust smell when driving with the sunroof
tilted, but was told that this is normal - is that right (for a diesel)
?

thanks all

Well i haven't faced this problem before. but then ya it should not smell too much. little bit of smell is normal. and it is worth for you to get all that done.
