Had mine since March, so far....

New MAF sensor £100
New LPG stepper motor £350
New (2nd hand) driveshaft £75
2nd Hand passenger airbag £55
all 3 rear seatbelts £60ish
4 new tyres (ok consumable item) - about £300
New front discs and carriers as ones on car are different sizes £85
Engine oil seals and pickup (as lost oil pressure) £85
Cheap oil and filter - £30
Mid range oil and filter - £60 (2 changes within 400 miles to flush engine)
Slam panel £50
Can I count electric drills that I bust trying to get the locking wheel nuts out?
Rear droplinks £35ish

That's just shy of £1200 in 9 months!

I've a feeling I've missed something as well ....

It turned out that the car hadn't been looked after very well in it's past life and had hidden accident damage.

Jobs lined up for spring: Cam belt change and autobox flush and whatever else breaks!
