Bloody expensive

First of all the aux belt tensioner gives up, so into the garage for that. Took them all day to do it, removing engine mounts, PAS pump, various hoses etc, left with a £300 bill

Then the brake brake shoes went, need replacing.

Then on the way to inverness for christmas shopping, something hits the windscreen and puts a massive crack in it , be a £60 excess from the insurance now.

Ah, the joys of motoring
