My opinion: Depends on the condition of the car and how regularly you service it already.
I got mine done at around 98K Kms... was only charged $850 - was really happy with that.

if your asking how much it costs then price is an important factor. If this is so, you can basically do most of the servicing yourself and its easy.

the only thing i would leave to the mechanic is the timing belt and rear spark plugs.

Everything else is easy if you sort of know your cars.

You could possible save at least $500.00 by doing this.

why?? i did my fuel filter no worries. If you think that there is not enough room try removing your battery.

Fuel filter Ryco R441.

your not trying hard enough or getting enough leverage. Long extension helps as well.

I have changed mine three times without the need to remove the inlet manifold. First attempt i even did not remove battery.

If its too tight get someone to help you.
