mind you, with 12 months MOT, that is a good price for an 'R'
yeah, ive spent a bit time in it, gettin tyres fitted etc. i was offered £700 before i done the work, so gettin all prepared for the mot.
if someone gives me £900 before the mot, ill take it, but when its through, the price is £1250.

so cant say that isnt fair

I am a willing learner (seriously) although I consider taking the love of my lady to bed far exceeds that of taking a Haynes manual to bed!!!! (IMO)

I doubt I will save money doing things myself to the cars for many reasons

1. I am not that good at fixing car faults and would probably cause further expense.

2. I have little interest in fixing car faults.

3. I can afford to let an expert fix my car faults

4.My cars are under warranty anyway.

Regards

ps enjoy your Haynes manual..!!
