Hi guys, I know sam has got one on here, and if anyone else can help then great..

Basically, if i were to spend about £8k on a FRP with about 40,000 miles on the clock, what would my other expenses be?

When will the next service be due?

When are the major services?

When does the cam belt need changing?

How much are the servicing costs?

and most importantly, how much you paying for insurance sam?

Right guys, cheers for the advice. Now ive been on puma build website and seen the prices for certain things....

Full Service =

Oil Filter
4.5 Litres Engine Oil (5w/30)
Air Filter
Fuel filter
Pollen Filter
Spark Plugs (NGK Platinum)
Screen Wash
Diagnostic Fault Check
70 point check and report
£147.02

Now this is every 12,000 miles or 1 year right?

Cam Belt Service 1.7 VCT

The Racing Puma has different cam settings to any other puma. We have the special tool required to set the all important cam timing this setting tool is NOT the same as a std puma. When changing the cam belt the tensioner and the stretch bolt must be changed this is all included in our price.
£240.88

Im guessing this only needs doing as a one off? at around the 60,000 mile mark?

Brake Service

Racing Puma has Alcon 4 pot callipers which need regular Cleaning we can remove brake pads and clean the pistons with our brake cleaning system. £47.00

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alcon Front Calliper Service

Over a period of time Racing Puma callipers need a service to check and remove any oxide build up, Pistons need to be replaced if they show any signs of wear or pitting a total of 16 seals will also need replacing. Pistons and seals are available at extra cost.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
£146.88

Again, how often would each one of these need doing?

Just trying to work out running costs

Lucky Git

Will have to try add it to "Daddys" fleet insurance then.

I could really do with the NCB though
