How much have you spent?

It is, but I'm driving it less and less, its probably only covered 1,000 miles this year so far.

As soon as its back to its former glory, its gone.

Wow. Although some of the stuff was done for the sake of it - the clutch didnt need changing but the gearbox was out so BMW did it for parts only etc.

Seems the towns council estate scum have taken to using our road as a cut through, needless to say that all three of my cars (before I got shot of the volvo) got keyed outside the house, along with countless neighbours cars.

Scum :(

It's currently in for a few bits (having bank 1 VANOS looked at as won't adjust the exhaust cam to the full range available) and also having a crank position sensor replaced and had an exhaust rattle fixed.

Up soon.... discs and pads needed all round, differential leak and a few other bits to be sorted in the next few weeks.

Not including the tax (220) insurance (1,200 a year), MOT (50) and about 5k in fuel.

How many miles do you do a year?
Is this for the Gt3 and if so is it a yearly service? or 2 years or 12,000 miles?
 
Fiesta ST bought last week.

Nothing spent yet, front rubber will be replaced soon however.


Previously owned a 54 reg Renault Megané. Put it this way, I wont be buying French again :rolleyes:
