Hi all
I just put my LC in for it's 40k fourth service (my car has done 25k). When I got the car back I got the additional work advice quote which highlighted all the things with the car. To say I was shocked was an understatement! I don't thrash the car or anything this is why I'm so shocked.
If I have everything done the bill will be about £1,000. Now I've never been one to skimp when servicing and trying to look after the car so I'm trying to get some advice from you guys to give me a pointer on what items you think I should get done from a safety/ maintenance point of view (see below).
1. Font brakes require stripped and cleaned - £45.
2. Rear discs lipped and corroded - new discs and pads £154.
3. Rear indicator bulbs show white - £8
4. NSF fog light cracked - £125.
5. Rear wiper smearing - £8 new wiper.
6. Brake fluid service - £40.
7. Aircon service due - £89.
8. OSF wishbone bush starting to split - £100.
9. Geometry check after wish bone bush - £90. What is this anyway? is it a more sophisticated form of tracking?
10. Timing belt and tensioner due to be replaced £290. Correct me if I'm wrong guys but I didn't think this was due to much later?
11. Exhaust centre and back box brackets broken. Now apparently they don’t sell the brackets and I would need a new exhaust Although they didn’t price the exhaust.
What do you think? What should I get done? I was thinking
1. Timing belt.
2. Brakes.
3. Wishbone.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Cheers
