Just curious what you get for that .

Cheers, James

A sore backside!

They did the 72k service and replaced front discs and pads. They caught me off guard when they mentioned that the discs and pads needed replacing - in future I will be more proactive and get it done elsewhere.

Noel, is the 72K service the big one with cambelt & spark plugs? I'm sorry to hear you had to pay HUK prices for OEM front disc & pads! I nearly went down that route 2 years ago, but when they stated the front disc parts alone were nearly £600 , I nearly collapsed! Instead I just got the rears from HUK as they are a quarter of fronts and went to VtecDirect (under Barry) for the fronts and they were a third of HUK prices!

72k is indeed plugs and belt. Think the service was £900 alone. I should've taken the car to Plans, but didn't get round to arranging it.

Wow, that's not as bad as I was expecting then - I thought the belt/pump was £1200-£1500 on its own.

Have you really done 72k miles, Noel?

I am just looking at the service details and only the belt was replaced (item 7) with the water pump just being inspected (not sure what they can tell from an inspection). The car has another year left on the warranty (and they are apparently happy to extend), so if the pump goes bang, then I should be OK - at least according to Paul

Car has done ~53k, but somewhere down the line someone was doing more than 9k miles p/a

And because I didn't get the MOT done until end of the month and hence couldn't renew my tax disc until post April 1st, I now have to pay an extra £30. Something to watch out for next year. Or maybe the Tories will have other ideas
