Ouch!

Car service; £500. Which is avoiding two things for later as well, ouch.

Bloody hell! And I was upset when they told me mine would be £210!

That's what they told me the baseline for the service was likely to be :( Bloody expensive diesel filters...

I'm not looking forward to mine, I suspect a fair few things need doing :-(
Would any of that be suspension/shock related? Just thinking about the drive tomorrow and that stupid road heh

Only thing vaguely like that was I had to have my tracking sorted out.

They didn't mention suspension thankfully.

Phew, hopefully mine is ok too then, stupid pot holes!

It's like driving a slalom up that road; a few bricks or a bit of concrete wouldn't go amiss!

Eh? Those two things go together?
You're a strange man...

I had a very lovely night, and even a fat bill like that isn't going to dampen my mood :)

I have just tried peanut chunky kitkats.... pretty nummy!

Ouch, mine came to 224.30, incl. MOT and the only thing they found during that was one of the number plate lights not working...
I will need a full set of rear brakes within the next year or so, though. Considering it's still the original ones after 12 years, that's fair enough.

The three tyres (ie four, as you replace in pairs) is the killer on this one. Bah.

I find the most expensive part of any bill now is labour. Charging around here about £60 a hour.

My usual full-service comes to about £32. Woot!
