My baby goes in tomorrow.

Should be just a service so that's £160

Thanks to a flat bed reversing without a clue I need a headlamp and a front wing replaced (lucky garage is breaking same model right now) that's another £120

And she just had 4 new tyres off of me so that was £200 as well.

Mrs moans about money spent on van.... I tell her - get rid of van then if it's a problem.......she asks - how will I get to work without van in that case to earn the money.......I tell her - exactly now shut the f*** up!

Women! Why do we torture ourselves so? Her cooking isn't even that good!

My ignition broke last week, had to have it replaced, £290! They want £225 for a new spare key! Something to do with diagnostics. When I had my cortina mark 3, l just stuck a screwdriver in it

Its always a double hit when the vehicle is of the road, you have to pay the garage and you cant work to pay for it:gush:

Think I had better pour everyone on this thead a glass of rhubarb wine....it will help ease the pain!

2 years ago, my car was in the garage for a week and the sun shone everyday. Twas a biatch of a time!

down to garage pays my bill of very reasonable £50 jumps in starts up and

check a.b.s. and e.s.p light are stareing me down so he puts it on the magic box and it says the opposite side sensor to the replaced one is wrong
