Default Expensive week

It seems to come round sooner every time but it was time for the car's twice yearly service 2 spanner this time. Meridian in Bornemouth did their usual good job, did it while I waited 2 hours plus another half an hour while they did the brake fluid change that was due they hadn't realised when I originally booked the service. £330 for everything did not seem too bad only bad news was they confirmed my suspicions that I need a new set of rear tyres so am having a new set of Toyos fitted thursday for £376 the last pair lasted 23000 miles 11 months impressed with then so decided to stay with them.

It could be worse check this tale from my local rag.

I have not posted here for a goodly while but hope this info about the water pump is of use.

I am suprised as Kings of Swindon are normally very good for both my Crossifre and 300c.

Hate to think how much the bill would have been if I used that dealer.

Always good to get a second opinion if confronted with a bill like that.
