Could do with a hand....

Evening all. Really need some advice.

My car has been to the garage every month since November. So far this year I've spent about 600quid. Rest of year to go it needs a service, new tyres and a water pump/cam belt. Also today I got an antiskid service required and an engine light has come on when i turn the ignition. It goes off once the engines actually started.No idea why.

I've heard that only volvo can read errors etc with Vida, which I don't have. Is there anyone near Stockport who has it??

Would you get rid of the car or would you keep it?? It's a 2010 V50 2.0D R Design(Premium pack) 92000 miles

What's the worst the antiskid service can cost?? And how does one actually service it?? I thought it was a piece of software

Not sure on some specifics for the V60 there, but ref the engine light - I think on most cars this will be on during the ignition cycle, then go out once the engine has started.

Worst case could be a Brake Control Module aka BCM aka ABS pump which is a know fail point on V50. I paid £650 at the dealers because it’s coded to the car. However, it’s not something I’d consider outing the car over if the rest of it’s ok. Mine failed when the car was 9-10yo so I’m not surprised. Get the codes read first because other things can cause that error.
