What was supposed to be a £60.00 MOT test at the dealership turned out to be (why am I surprised?!) an expensive repair affair. Things are popping up one after the other – damaged rim, dynamic drive failure, electric window motor packed in, boot opening hydraulic motor not working etc.

Billwise the damage nears the £1,000+VAT mark. I am not surprised – at £140+VAT per hour labour charge…

The problem is I love this car and I am prepared to take the bullet right between the eyes like a man! Nuff said!
