Well thats the cost of a service and getting the car through the MOT,

I've been spending more on my car these past few weeks..much more than what it's worth...Thing is, it'll cost me loads more to replace it. Like you Steve, my car's treated me well, been a good servant over the years. I'm attached to it.

I used to run a taxi in the 80s. .well, I footed the costs, I didn't drive it. An ill thought out venture if ever there was one. Reliable drivers were few and far back then

I've spent a few days 'bookmarking' a few potential replacement cars on ebay despite really bonding with my lovely Merc over the years. Originally Posted by les_taxi

He shown me this corsa for under £600 a full year mot took in part exchanged too, just makes you wonder if its worth the worry of trying to get yours through a mot
