Fit 2 front tyres (I supplied the tyres)
Supply & fit rear pads
Oil & filter change (Castrol RS)
Supply & fit rear wheel bearing
Whats it going to cost then?

Result!

Wasnt a wheel-bearing, just part of the arch-liner rubing the wheel.

So £116 all-in!

 

[CocoPops]

Bet they rolled their eyes when they found the arch liner rubbing, thinking "What a n00b, thinks he knows about cars"

Right result on price tho, few extra drinks over the weekend.

 

[DARKO]

LMAO yeah they probably did!

Castrol RS is fully synth (0W-40?), not really due an oil change (31000 miles) but have mega-trackday at Spa next month so thought Id better sort out oil, brakes etc.
