FWD sucks, so here’s a RWD project (MX-5 NC)

A brake issue cost over six grand? What did they do, put solid gold discs in it with diamond pads?!

Depends how you view it...

Its 2 years old, done 62k miles and averaged 33mpg over that period.

It had an issue with rear brakes, local dealer fixed it then told me it wasn’t a warranty fix as I do a fair bit off road... I was presented with a £6300 bill. In the end I paid £800 of it.

Other than that it’s has been fantastic, first set of tyres even lasted 50k miles!!

I’d say that was very decent overall!!

£150/hour labour and nearly 30 hours of 'fault finding'......

f**k me, that's mental.

30 hours? Doesn't seem amazingly competent if it takes them that long to find the problem.

Who was doing it, Bad Obsession Motorsport??

Stevie Wonder by the sound of it.

Oh no Landrover start counting the min it moves. Even when it was on a lift with no one working on it, the clock was running....

Lucky you didn't leave it with them for a weekend

They had it 2 weeks. Luckily it sat outside a lot!
