Almost had a heart attack last week when I received an email about my car tax. It had been £45 per month for the last few years and has now gone up to £59 per month!! My insurance is only £20 per month FFS!

Your car tax is/was £540 a year?

That's scandalous. :lol:

Hum….a coil pack, two tires and some brakes…your luck is improving!

Not a terrible review, and I’d hope the coil is a warranty issue.

Brakes and tires are wear items, but a dealer selling with two mismatched pairs of winter and summer tyres is a bit disappointing. Might try to get them to fix that.

The rear brakes 90% worn is a puzzler, as the rears should be used much less…unless this estate has a ton of miles or a dragging/hanging brake issue. Many cars will go through two or three front brake sets before one rear.

It's done 26k miles.

The rear brakes are 90% worn out after 26k miles, or 90% remaining? If it’s 90% remaining and 30% on the front remaining, that makes more sense.
