Had the oil and filter changed, and 2 new Sailun Atrezzo ZSR tyres on the front of the V70, all for the grand total of £214.72 at a nearby National Tyres.
Later on the old girl thanked me for my benevolence when going through a shower of rain the drivers windscreen wiper broke up. So I pulled in and put the passenger side wiper on which is smaller and crap!
Then a bit later she thanked me again when I was doing a three point turn in a narrow country lane in the sticks and the button on the gear shift broke and I couldn't get it into Park or Reverse.
So I limped the 50 odd miles home through torrential rain with one crap windscreen wiper and no reverse gear!
Luckily I didn't meet any tractors or combines in the narrow twistys, but I did have to pull over a couple of times when the rain got so heavy that I couldn't see out!
So more of what the car did to me, rather than what I did to the car!
Maybe she didn't like the cheap tyres?
