The old FL passed 100,000 miles this week.
Unfortunately it tied in with, in the last fortnight paying out for;
Insurance renewal
Road Tax
Service and MOT
New front brakes and seized caliper
Plus it will need new tyres all round shortly

Why does it all seem to come at once?!

or could have been
Full service
New Front discs/pads
MOT
New clutch/DMF
Forking out £300 for a warranty that refuses to pay out
Failing rear Diff

Decided to sell the FL2 before the diff actually failed on me as my bank balance was screaming ''NO MORE!!''

Do I regret - yes a large part of me does regret it as they are great cars Big Cry , another part of me loves chucking the new car down country lanes and still getting 50+mpg with £30 road tax Very Happy

Re: Ca$h

Insurance renewal - 12 Month Policy

Road Tax - 12 Month Road Tax

Service and MOT - 12 Month In between Servicing on normal miles & MOT every 12 Month Months

New front brakes and seized caliper - Because your just having plain bad luck

Plus it will need new tyres all round shortly - Stop Driving


Why does it all seem to come at once?!

I think its something to do with this 12 months thing that keeps cropping up Laughing

The way to solve it SORN 3 months, Sept - Jan
Road Tax Six Month Jan - June
Insurance Due September & MOT
Cars not don as many miles so Tyres have lasted longer
