Need to spend lots of money on my clio...

[Pep]

:dapprove:
Coming up is the 36k service and aux belt, i've emailed a few places for quotes but I'm guessing at maybe £250 worth of work including some brake work?
Need some new wipers.
2 new tyres and fitting.

Some damage sorting out which could be upto £200
Pc'ing but it's pretty bad so up to £200
MOT another £35 provided it doesn't fail
Tax which is £100.

So all in all roughly £900 that could do with spending on it to get in a nice condition again after a hard 15 months!

Luckily the service, MOT etc needs doing in March so still got some time to save up for it all, tyres will hopefully last longer than that so only really the tax that needs doing before Christmas, but still a bit gutting when I sat down to work it all out!

Anyone fancy chipping in on it all for me!?
(moan over)

ps if anyone knows any rough figures for the 36k service that would be good! - it's a 1.2 16v dynamique by the way!

[Pep]

already got a full time apprenticeship and looking for some part time bar work aswell, paper round might push me over the edge!

 

[Ian_182]

[Ben.]

it only gets worse! :dapprove:

you have got the cambelt to look forward to after that!

 

[Hazza]

So far i've spent £225 on a 54k service.

Got cambelt to come, and bought parts for that, which cost me £58, plus fitting which will be an extra £70...

Then next month is MOT and tax, which will be another £160 maybe...

so in two months.. just over £500... hmph... cars ay
