The lower VAT rate's got to mean a massive sigh of relief to D9 owners' daily running costs... less cost attached to parts and labour... :twisted:

Mine was a near throw away recently but as dragged back with a long line of £20.00 notes :|

I think if it wasn't an exec I really would have thrown it!

Not on a V6 it ain't! I think a new tensioner's about £250 before you even think about labour :shock:
