We have the car back

[JanB]

But rather a large bill to go with it

But we have a new radiator, head gasket has been skimmed and whatever else they did, the did the oil change and changed all the belts, decarbonised whatever, new oil pump, new thermostat, new spark plugs, new oil filter and heaven knows what else. Oh yes, new anti/freeze.

Don-t think we-ll be going out for a while

1,273.12 euros

Ho thought it was your phone number

[meriad]

ouch - that hurts!

but hopefully having all that done will mean another good number of years out of the car; it's a solid vehicle otherwise

[Kaz]

Ouch, that is eye watering! xxxx

Lot of money, but if it translates into a reliable car for the next few years or so, must be well spent ......

[JanB]

It-s a lovely car / 1998 Honda CRV / the old shape, automatic / rare over her, only 168,000, something kms so should do us for a few more years yet.

It should last several years without any major problems.
Our car is now seven years old and we hope we will not have any major repairs.
Have it serviced every year which costs about 160. 00 pounds including MOT and VAT.
