More than that really.
Most cheap hand car washes charge £7 for a wash and dry.
I won't do that to my own car in one day, even of someone paid me £20. lol
Old greenstuff were sh*t, had them on a Escort and the cracked and lasted about 7k.
Put them on the 172 with Brembo HC discs and they worked very well on the road.
Jokers.
Whats their hourly rate?
They have probably charged you £20 to fit some wipers blades.
I don't think I have ever paid a garage to do work to get a car through an MOT. Easiler the get the up to standard before you take it in.
I sold my 53 Reg FF172 with 44k on the clock months ago under £5.5k budget, so £5.5k should be more than enough really.
They are loads about and it's a buyers market at the moment.
Cheap to run for the speed really.
Tyres £50-60 a corner
Brakes are cheap from GSF
MPG around 40 mpg on a long round and 30-35 mpg generally.
Cheap to service.
I'd say check for the Cambelt change and the exhausts.
My gearbox went at 40k and 4 years old after having a easy motorway life...
My Dad has the same on his yellow Cupra R.
I wouldn't use t-cut tbh, you really need to get a machine polisher on there really.
I would try something like Meg - Scratch X & AutoGlym SRP first as you can get them both from Halfords and with a little hard work it should be better.
