Unhappy

Ding, my MY00 Turbo is due it's 45k as well in the next couple of weeks, K Price are quoting me £540 for it.

I'm sure the cambelt isn't due until 60k though. (Owners manual says that anyway)

Ho hum.

hi mike
£485 was the price for the cam belt and service...tileys of bristol made a big thing of the cam belt being changed at 45k...said warranty would be void....£5000 new engine...blah blah blah...
i went to a garage in weston super mare to show off the car to a friend of mine...first thing he said was how many miles had it done ..i told him nearly 45k and his reply was oh cam belt due then no more down the pub or eating for a while then!
so better to be safe than sorry....i suppose
will be living on beans and soup for a while...dont stand to close to me at longleat!!!

As an alternative try Bramall in Cheltenham.
01242 261555

Were cheaper on the 60'000 mile service than KPrice and CVC.

well i got my99turbo back today....thank god
i wasnt impressed with the wrx much...i didnt like the colour at all...a metalic green
the road holding didnt seem as good handled like a ford modeao though it was a bit quicker than mine
also quieter...
BUT one thing it has is BRAKES......BRAKES......BRAKES
wow.. i want wrx brakes
i think the garage must have their courtesy cars detuned or something...lmao...
(maybe i am kidding myself a little ;.()
