If you are fairly competent, car servicing is not difficult. A good paper reference such as Haynes for a MK1 or the online manual for the MK2 and read about the 'bits' you want to do. A few basic tools are all you need and a good jack and axle stands will help. Yes the outlay for the last might seem high but it will be less than a Honda service. No lengths of scaffold pole will be needed to replace the plugs. Common sense is the key. If it's stuck step back and think about it, the lump hammer has no place in general servicing. The sense of achievement is worth the effort. If you really can't do it yourself, then a local independent that has been there a while might be worth considering, if you can ask people that is a bonus.
As an aside, I used to be a volunteer Tutor for illiteracy and numeracy. One 'pupil' claimed he could not read and yet he could manage paperback cowboy books and when asked why he could not read he just said thats all I have ever read. Just a few hours overcame his problem, he just didn't think cowboy books and others were the same. As to his numeracy, I found out he could play darts. When asked if he could keep a score the answer was affirmative. Again just explaining that adding and subtraction were the same everywhere, suddenly he could cope. My point, if it's a problem, often an approach from a different direction holds the answer. I am not clever just practical.Today, it is said that clocks in schools are having to be changed to digital as the pupils cant understand the analogue ones. Why not 'bl**dy' teach them NO money for schools stop piggin wasting it.
