I appreciate that this has been discussed previously but rather than open an old thread I thought I'd start a new one just to ask what people do regarding the 2 yearly fluid change.

Our local Swift dealer (Alde approved) said I was only the second person ever to ask about a fluid change. The demand was so low they haven't bothered with the expense of buying the manufacturer's service pump.
Instead they will contract out when required.

I'm waiting for a call back regarding the cost but it appears to be around £150 (ouch!)

It appears that the fluid change is either ignored by the majority or, as some previous posters state, done DIY with all the hassle of bleeding the system. 

Do you get a dealer to do it, don't bother or DIY?
