I love my old barge but im not gonner spend a penny on it unless it REALLY needs it.

Benner yours must really be 'one of the family' :cheesy:
The cost did include the cambelt though which would normaly account for anything up to £300.00 on most cars so Benner's just had a major, major service I suppose.

The good thing for Benner now is that his car will just need basic fluid changes now for a couple of years, if he'd have left all those jobs alone his car could have deteriorated into what is known as a 'shitter'.

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

I am going to mark Welton's every single mistake from now on!

Btw, I spent £618 in the autumn on major service, which was:

1) Cambelt change
2) Water pump change
3) Alternator belt change
4) Track rod end replacement and tracking
5) The usual oil, oil filter, pollen filter change
6) Coolant change (to go with the water pump)
7) 2x new Goodyear Eagle tyres
8) MOT

That's at the local independent Peugeot specialist.
2003 - 2008: 1998 Peugeot 406 2.1 TD 110bhp LX Saloon
2008 - 2009: 2004 Honda Accord 2.2 CDTI 136bhp Executive Saloon
2009 - 2013: 2002 Peugeot 406 2.0 HDI 110bhp Executive Saloon
2013 - 2021: 2007 Peugeot 407 2.2 HDI 170bhp Executive Saloon (mapped to 213bhp :twisted:)
2021 - ????: 2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 180bhp Titanium

I hate it when people don't maintain perfectly good cars and they become absloute shitters. It's like half of the E36 318is in Australia - people buy them but then don't realize that they are more expensive to service than your run of the mill Toyota Corolla or VW Golf...

It happens with Peugeots here as well - When I was looking for a car, half the people I spoke to on the fone didn't know if the cambelt had been changed at all...they just assumed that if the car works...it works?
