20k ago?  :shocked: I'd try to get service done fairly soon mate. Oil + filter, fuel filter, air filter. Do it yourself and save on some £££.  :wink:

cheers mate, thanks for the advice.. i know how to fill it etc i was just wondering about the fill level on the dip stick but all is sorted now, so far i have done oil filter change, then oil change and air filter and getting new plugs soon just waiting on selling my other car (corsa), but the car is running brilliant tbh and the fluctuating revs has now stopped after i cleaned the throttle body and breather pipes etc.

Thanks for the help everyone  :laugh:
