Car repairs ......

you know if you kill someone on the road and its due to you not taking care of your vehicle, ie you breaks steering fails you'll get done for manslaughter and go to prison.

Shouldn't you stop driving it til it's been checked out then hun?

If there's something wrong with it you're putting yourself and others in danger

Next time tax your car for six months, then do it yearly again after that. Will split your tax and MOT by six months so it's not quite so hideous.

It's an easy thing for a woman to think of isn't it

Hogg was complaining about his so I suggested that. He'd never have thought of it on his own

i used to do that, however, last time, i could only afford 6 months tax back to square one!

Proof that men aren't very good at planning

Last month was the worst I'd had in a while with £600 worth of repairs required to get through the MOT and fix the ignition barrel... Still for 10k miles in a year its not too bad...

New end to end exaust system will be required soon along with a potential water pump

Should have bought some AA membership off me before you broke down and that would have cost you the grand total of £29.........





anyway, i'm not even going to go into how much i spend on cars

i'm off next fri so will go to the garage then....it's the first chance i've had & i can't get a day off before then, nor can i get to work without it

amy - as above...

just be careful cause that excuse won't hold up in court

i know & i am

What you should do to stop tax and mot coming all at once is get your tax for 6 months, then it will be staggered, and you will not feel the strain so much. Lucy

some one already said that but nice try

i used to get given cars which had a few months tax n test on them from garage next door..id drive them into the ground and then find another,many a time ive drove a car that realy shouldnt be on the road...but in the county side,you get away with alot(those were the days) inc red juice in ya tank(but not now)

best way to save money on cars,rule 1,never buy a fiat

timing belt, tensioner, fix leak in cooling system, fix exhaust - £260.

not too upset by that tbh.

£350 for mine, so far this week, with more to come

Drivers car eh, Brid

thats alfa for you, theres a reason why mainstream italian cars have a poor reputation!!
