Oh dear, sad, these things are never welcome,  hope things improve. Gathering spare pennies is getting harder. Everything is getting dearer but the income is static.I read yesterday that the sales of petrol have dropped 20% in the last five years, sales of diesel only dropped by 5%. Seems the cost of fuel is biting hard. I had planned to watch the Lands End Trial at Easter but gave up on the idea when I considered the cost of the fuel I would need. http://www.themotorcyclingclub.org.uk/documents/2013le_entrypack.pdf

I have mine in for some water loss investigations next week. With the mot due and new front disks required plus a heap of other stuff I am left wondering what the bill will be. With a long european trip planned for May I am getting a bit nervous about potential underlying age problems. :-O

Sad news Jeff. Costs of owning a car seem to be always escalating. Today, the least expensive car on the market cost more than the first house I owned. Maybe dating myself but that house is still standing 45 years later, car I owned back then long gone. That is some beautiful scenery Robert.

Hope that you have a windfall to recover from your misfortune Jeff. The cost of cars in UK and everywhere is way too high compared to cost of manufacture. I estimate that the parts cost less than £3000 in real terms if you take out all the profits to middle men and car manufacturers.
