Hi,
I am unable to log onto this forum, maybe its me in TechnoWimp mode, or maybe I've been excommunicated. Just in case anybody is interested in the end of the saga, I have shnecked in through the back door.
I took the car for MOT on Thursday. She passed with NO advisories, and complimentary comments from the tester. "So now get on with the rest of the jobs I want done!"
Replace cam-belt and water pump = £365. Change oil and filter = £70. MOT reduced to £25. Phone call later to say brake pads were getting thin = £130.
Total bill = £609, which I hope will see me right for a couple of years.
Which leaves me with just the heater fan to sort out. If anybody feels like helping, (I will pay) please PM me on either this addy or to w3526602, as I do not know if I will be able to access this forum again.
If the Moderator is able to comment or advise, I would be grateful.
