But are you happy? Swapping from a 1.2 to a 172 has to be yes
. Fcuk the money, you're not going to bury it with you.
You have to be clever about it so that all the expenses don't come at once.
This is what I've done:
Brought 6 months tax to begin with then buy it annually from then on - means the tax won't be due until 6 months after the MOT.
After your insurance policy expires, let it run for another month before changing insurers. It'll delay getting another year's NCB by a month but it means that the insurance renewal isn't due at the same time as the MOT.
Stock up on a spare set of tyres while they're on offer somewhere or you can afford it - means when they do get low / illegal you don't have to fork out there and then because you've already paid for a set.

Belts are nasty. You pay your monies and the car feels no different to how it was before.
I had a large service, belts & four new tyres last month. The total was getting on for 2K!
If they timed correctly.
From what i've hear it is, but the guys at birchdown know what they're doing and reckon day 1 will be stipping it down, the water pump is also being replace, and re-building it, day 2 will be final checks and putting all trim etc back, test drive and MOT. Day 3 it'll be re united with one very excited owner, then off for a blast round wales just to make sure.... priceless
