I guess it depends why you want to change.  If it's just about losing warranty then maybe it's worth extending that for a year and seeing what the market is like.  

Mmmmm, bit of a sore subject atm 🙄

But, there is light ahead after a certain person has no qualms lastnight at suggesting a 2 week holiday in Mauritius costing around £6k so If she wants that then I don't see why I can't have a MK4.5 🥺
