Oh dear. From now on it might be worth running the car and revving it up for about 5 minutes every day to keep everything lubed up and running smooth. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nug878 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 yea, i suppose but I would have lost a grand over the year! :o I suppose I've spent a lot on my Focus. Some will say I'm nuts. Since March last year I've: - Bought 8 new tyres. - Air filter. - Diesel filter. - oil filter. - New brake pads for the front. - Tax. - MOT. - New numberplate for the back (failed MOT). - New front windscreen. - New front bumper. - New suspension coil on one side when it collapsed in a multi-story. - And now bought the car back. Still love the thing. I'll probably just keep it going til it really dies now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmcdermott Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Ouch! at least most is normal wear and tear....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug878 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Ouch! at least most is normal wear and tear....... True. Only ones that peeved me off really was a mate who knocked the interior rear view mirror off. And when he tried putting it back on the windscreen shattered. Then the bumper was replaced (first time round ) because a brand new Subaru Impreza clipped my car whilst reversing out of the parking space next to me. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael P Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I do high mileage. How high?! My dad's done 65k in two years in his car and he's only had two new tyres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
