Yeah do what you can yourself and get someone competent to do the things you're not comfortable with.
I haven't tried them yet myself but a mate went to London Automotive in Bayswater and got good service at a reasonable price.

In your driveway...that way you know what is done, what needs to be done and it will cost a fraction of the price.
Just get a gregory's manual...that will tell you everything you need to know.

I agree you should DIY. You would be surprised how easy it is! I guess when you say FULL service you should do...

Oil
Oil Filter
Airfilter (or clean it if you have K&N)
Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs
Leads (May as well do the dizzy cap and rotor button if they havn't been done)
Maybe diff oil too, i guess it depends how far you wanna go.

I can't think of a mechanic i would really reccomend but on the rare occasion when I needed to take a car somewhere I have been pretty happy with 'David Vaughn Autos' 9 Rose Avenue, Croydon 9725 6450.
