£240 or...................



Car written off as un-economical repair,if the belt snaps and destroys your engine...

I'll take the £240 bill any day! :y :y :y

Ai, when u look at the bigger picture £240 quid dont seem so bad , its just handing over the cash it hard to do, but if it keeps the silver beast on the road its worth it in the end  :y

chains need replacing as well, and cost a damn sight more
