....but it pours
I'm feeling sorry for myself at the moment as this LCR of mine is going to cost me a small fortune, money I haven't got
I've got my 40k service coming up in a couple of weeks, so that's £230 plus about £30 to have the DogBone mount fitted.
Plus I've had a feeling my brakes were getting close to the point where they needed to be changed. I've just been out this morning to take a look at them in more detail and sure enough there is a fair bit of a lip on the front discs, so it looks like those will need going too. Bye bye another £400.
Then in the process of looking at the brakes, I noticed something didn't look right on my front tyres. Took the front wheel off and, yup, uneven tyre wear. The middle section is bald but the outer edges are fine. I had a feeling this wasn't unheard of on the Rossos, even with the perfect tyre pressures, so just had a quick search and sure enough it's a common thing for the standard tyres. There is no way I want two different makes of tyre on the car and there is even less chance of me putting new Rossos on there... so that'll be £400+ for four new tyres then
So that's going to be pushing a grand or more in the next month and the only 'nice' thing about it is I'll be able to get GSD3's and DS2500's on there along with the new mount. Lucky me
