Got MOT early January and if (when) it passes i'm going to have to splash out on a much overdue service.
I've seen Mr MDTM posted recently about wishbones from Autovaux so have priced up a load of bits i need:
AS90509739 SPARK PLUG £2.99 £17.94
AS91149684 AIR FILTER £6.50 £6.50
AS9201887 TIMING BELT KIT £72.33 £72.33
AS93156954 OIL FILTER - X93 £2.20 £2.20
AS93165162 GM ANTI FREEZE £13.10 £13.10
AS93165213 10W40 SEMI SYNTHETIC OIL 1 LITRE £3.28 £3.28
AS93165216 10W40 SEMI SYNTHETIC OIL 5 LITRES £12.06 £12.06
AS93170697 WATER PUMP £26.95 £26.95
AS93181720 DRIVE BELT - MULTI RIBBED £14.95 £14.95
total inc Vodka & Tonic = £194.71 :o :o :o
I'm assuming these are decent prices? or are any bits available on Trade Card?
Also got to do the breathers and cam gaskets so thats:
Rocker gaskets 2 sets: 90511451.
O-rings 16 off: 90411826.
Sealent, Black (not the Green stuff!) 1 off: 90485251.
Breather bridge to plenum seal 1 off: 90467543.
Breather bridge to throttle O ring 4 off 90500983.
at £64 in the OOF shop on top (assume this is a TC price???)
GRAND TOTAL £258.71 (+ lots of carb cleaner) :o :o :o :o

it probably is a fair price but it's a hell of a lot to spend on a 12 year old car that ain't worth nothing, but i can't afford a new one so better make sure this one lasts a bit longer.
ps need to borrow a cam locking kit in the new year ;)

No problemo :y

Pretty sure most of those are available on TC. :y

Put £20 a month away starting Jan so that this time next year you are covered. Much cheaper in long run - car is saving you capital cost of new one on which you could still have bills.
-
Most service bits are on Tradeclub. Should make it cheaper, and generally genuine parts are better quality. Seem to recall an extra 10% off brake pads and fuel filters this month if you have the vouchers...
-
You could spend half that on just a dealer service anyway, well worth the money if you can do it yourself.
Good luck with the MOT.

I think for £300 you will have done virtually everything you need to do, you should try giving Vauxhall a ring see how much that would cost you.... you may feel alot happier then.
Like said if you got a TC you would save more than it cost you on your first purchase. :)
