Rear Tyres/exhaust/brakes

[gazza007]

Wow it's been an expensive month. This is with doing my homework & getting the best deals.

 

1. 18th Aug, Frizzell Insurance renewed

Its good to see somebody else forking out a small fortune instead of me for a change.

 

I find it comes around once or twice a year where everything happens all at once.

 

All considered i still enjoy driving the Gal.

 

Gazza, lets hope thats it for a while.

 

Touch wood....

Well, so far this year, I've replaced all 4 tyres, centre and rear exhaust sections and battery. I'm just about to change the cambelt and rollers. However, all of the above items are consumables or semi-consumables, so I guess it hasn't been too bad, especially as I do all of the work myself.

I just hope it stops there!

That's it... I've have tyres, brakes discs and pads, and service parts to stump up for this year, you just know that you are going to have to fork out for the consumables...

 

...it's the surprises that make you cough... :lol:

Recently had the air con repaired under warranty (which runs out this weekend) :D

 

I've just done:

Oil and filter change

TQF change (I know it's supposed to be sealed for life, but you should have seen the sludge that came out of a five year old gearbox...no problems with it and it still works just the same though :) I just feel happier now.)

Brake fluid change (two years for DOT4)

Rear pads changed (they were down to 2 - 3 mm :D )

Re-greased spare wheel unit

 

Had a good look underneath, and the rear silencer box looks a bit corroded...

I just need to grease all the hinges/door catches and we'll be ready for the winter.
