House address? Takes about 10 minutes to find.

But if the total bill is for £2172.75 and only £472.50 is for labour
then how the **** is it £2200 for fastening 10 bolts?



Giggle!

They're Alfa bolts, tightened precisely using overpriced tooling.

Who cares?

2200 quid for fixing a 12 year old car worth 500 quid at most is
madness.


It is 9 years old and worth £5000.


Yes of course it is.

We Buy Any Car must have made a mistake at £1,700 then.

Mind I suppose it is really worth £3,900 now with the £2,200 you have spent on
it.

£5000 is 2014 Corsa money.

£1300 for this.

£230 CB radio + £50 amp + £50 antenna.

"As of 8 December 2006, a licence is no longer required to own or operate a C.B. Radio providing it complies with one of the 3 type approval conditions currently permitted by Ofcom:[5] FM only, 4 watts power output and operating on either or both UK and CEPT (EU) 27 MHz bands only."

So my 100W amp is illegal, but OFCOM don't give a toss these days, unless they get a complaint. We had a pirate on 90.5MHz for 1.5 years, people knew where he was but he was never done for it.

Does anyone use CB these days when you can pick-up PMR kit for nowt that

CB on 27 MHz around here is much more active than the 2m 144MHz ham band, PMR on
440 MHz is only a 500m radius and during some tropo last summer I was receiving French stations on 27 MHz AM.

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.

The GM block ALFA used had a too narrow oil drip onto the camchain, meaning it stretched and put the timing out - my man fitted a wider bore and 4 years on, I still have the same chain.

with 5 hours to spare.

Good Grief!

Our Lass just came back from CoOp and said it felt just like a brand new car - I told her that I know what I am doing.

That chassis is superb for a start.

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,

Mad. You can buy a very decent new car that size for that.

which is what I paid for it

Even madder to be spending all that on a car
that cost that much, given what its worth now.

and new it was £25000, so I have saved £1400 on the new price.

But had to fart around with all those repairs.

Corse it mad no sense to be buying something that
would need all those expensive repairs either.

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.

For what you paid you could have had a Grandeur, and
still saved heaps and had no repairs at all in the 12 years
except the car crash which presumably the insurance paid for.
