I got it done at www.birchdown.com in Cheshire, very good price and an excellent service. Not the cambelt though no as that isn't due for another two years yet.

 

[R20 CWH]

Indeed mate! :approve:

thats what its all about.

for the money, not alot will come close to the fun factor.

 

[cat171]

Trade up for a vee, only petrol costs in general for me. The cambelt did cost a bit though :dapprove:

coils not a b*****d as well?

 

[cat171]

Had them all done bofore I got it (all six of them) So hopefully they are ok for a bit, they're only £27 each from pug anyway.

 

[R20 CWH]

ah £27 each, not too bad.

is getting the engine cover off not a b**ch?

 

[cat171]

Nah piece of p*ss taking the covers off. Taking the proper inner bit off is a pain though as it's got a load of hex screws (I had the car in bits the other week to fit a new air filter element)

 

[dutty_112]

fail!

interesting.

ill certain remember that as i know someone who could do with some info on the old coils

 

[Ian_182]

Thats a lot of money a month for a clio

 

[Da]

Thats a lot of money a month for a clio

It sure is fella but i've just got a company van so the fuel bill will be massively reduced. The service and the MOT obviously are now out of the way for 12months plus so the next year or so should cost me very little!

He says... :rasp:

 

[Fletcher]

I seem to have spent a fortune on my 172 over the last 2 years.
