In 18 months of ownership & covering 24,000 miles i have spent.

1. Basic Service £175
2. Two new tyres + alignment check £230
3. New heated seat switch £22.50
4. Oil for top ups £70
5. 60,000 mile service £400
6. Replacement front discs and pads £185 (no labour charge)
7. ARB drop links £34 (no labour charge)
8. New bonnet badge £15
9. Cam belt & ancillaries £600 (few weeks time)

Total £1731.50

IMO not a bad price to pay for this car

Attachment 38071

Agreed, but you're mising the point entirely whereas Pud picked it up corectly.

Also, please refarin fron the terminology "spouting rubbish". I saw a 147GTA with a burst gearbox at 40k - fact, not rubbish.
