How much have you spent on that car in total now, not counting petrol etc ?


Off the top of my head.

Two power steering pumps and racks £2500
Subframe £2200.
Alternator, water pump and belts £1000
Three camchains £ £2400
Suspension parts, springs, dampers, arms etc £2000
Clutch £1000
Body work after our lass pranged it £1500
Plugs, MAF sensor, crankshaft sensor, radio fitting and light bulbs £600

So around - £13200, which is what I paid for it and new it was £25000, so I have saved £1400 on the new price.

Spent **** all on my Hyundai bought new, just a windscreen
wiper arm which some ****wit kid deliberately broke off, in 10 years.


Yebbut - you get to drive this though.
