Just had a call from my trusted Indie, car in for service and MOT. Needs a few things doing (rear brakes and parking brake) and a couple of hours fault finding (parking aid defunct) so the bill is already £1500 plus VAT should I be swapping before next time as it may get really expensive? Oh and what really bothers me is that they need to keep it for another day might be a week next time.

I wasn’t actually complaining about the price as it includes sorting out the parking brake (not that I ever use it), new discs and pads at the rear plus a couple of hours trying to find what causes the parking aid error plus of course the Service and MOT. VAT will no doubt be added but it’s getting on and there’s a few niggles I need to sort out so I think Stans right it has to go. Geoff |

Just for clarity when Stans suggests a new one it will just be a late 405 as I don’t really like the new ones. Geoff |

No worries Geoff, thought it useful for some context.

Thanks, Sadly the days of doing my own maintenance are long behind me (I could do with trading in for a new model according to SWMBO ) Thanks to our Rachel the money I was leaving to my kids in my pension will fund the purchase. Geoff |

Actually am tempted by this one but it doesn't have steps (SWMBO essential)

I've seen that in the flesh as it is near to me. It's an interesting colour but imho, one that must be kept clean to do it justice. It wouldn't look the part with a layer of grime over it.
