Just having a good read through all the history paperwork. The previous guy took the car for a service and wheel alignment every 6months over the 4 years and 25k miles he had it.
Spent a total of £4k-ish in servicing and tyres +2 alloys.
Seriously getting ripped off by a Ford garage called PERRYS.
Some silly bills like:
N/S and O/S REPEATERS INCORRECT COLOUR M.O.T FAIL: FITTED PRICE £63.93
DISKS FRONT WORN AND CORRODED: FITTED PRICE £228.80
SPLIT VAC PIPE: FITTED PRICE £103.65
Even stuff like a normal oil service they have charged him £218. The list goes on.
The guy clearly didn't know much about cars, so the garage have just took the ****.
What it does tell me though, is that this guy was a bit of a 'Howard' when it come to maintaining his car and making sure everything was perfect.
Thought I would give the history a good scan through to make sure it hasn't already had a new clutch. Coming 84k miles I can see it being ready soon. Even though a clutch test would say different.
Also, on the way home from the airport last night I noticed a whirring noise coming from the N/S front, so guessing the wheel bearing is on the way out. Pretty normal for a 9 year old car I guess.
Quit my job today to so I have plenty of time to sort some things out.
