Car service parts ordered
BIG service this year
Needed to order 2 special tools £25 worth
Filter set & plugs £54
Deep spark plug tool £10
Oil on stock (got a job lot cheap a few years ago) so £10 for 5ltr
So I did a rate my garage quote for a big service £250 was the Lowest locally..
£74 for the bits to do that..... And about 2 hours...
£176 saving for that alone
The alternator belt is about done it's started slipping so. £20 for a belt and £15 for a fitting tool (stretch fit belt no adjustments on Tue alternator or pulleys )
And there's a bush going on the RHS wishbone which has started grumbling over the last week £35 for a new complete Wish bone assembly a single bush was £15... Whilst it's off I'll do the strut top bearing they are notorious on mine for failing £10 complete coil top assembly
Guessing that'd be another £250 at a garage
So a morning on the drive swearing will save me the thick end of £170 on those bits
So in the area of £350 saved for the full job I've got the skills and tools I'd be daft not to
