First service

I have booked my MC in for her first service next week. Everything I have done to my car is in my signature below. Is there anything I should be concerned about. I don't want to come back to my mini and see they have stripped some non stock things from my engine and replaced with OEM parts. Its a pain getting parts from across the pond.

They shouldn't do anything because any of your money that has to be spent on your car needs to be approved. That, and a lot of your stuff, minus the Injen and exhaust, is all dress up anyway and they can't say anything about that. You'll be good to go.

Ok so I dropped her off this afternoon. I noticed a slight vibration through the steering wheel so by the looks of it I need a wheel alignment. Haha no suprise there, I have changed my wheels over twice this weekend and done a defensive driving course.

So I get my little courtesy car which is a cool, little red/ maroon 07 MC. On the way home a massive berry falls on my windscreen, I go to the servo, clean it off and go to start the car up. Push the key in, press button... lights go on then nothing. Ten tries later im still sitting there not moving with no revs. After trial and error and the lack of an instruction manual I realized I had to put my foot on the clutch when i turn it on even though its in neutral.
