Last of the big spenders!! Bet that was an expensive day

[Mark G]

I pay monthly for the service plan, about £40 per month I think, 4 tyres £700 and 2 years warranty £895 so yes a few pounds spent but the car is worth it.

Yes, the only thing they found was a failed seal on the front right indicator, the one mounted on the wing, they said it looked a little misty!! All good then.

Expensive day but most of the time with these cars they're scheduled/expected costs rather than nasty surprises. What tyres did they fit for you Mark?

Bridgestone RE050 these were on the car from new, I like them so decided to stay with them.

Yes you are right Mark, I knew what the cost would be on the day, you cant run a car like this on a shoestring.

Yes I know, the car felt amazing when I collected it, really responsive and eager to go, I had the same 300h as a courtesy car that @Flytvr had last week however I only covered 35 miles in it so its not as though I had got used to less power, so I don't know, maybe it is psychological, because its had a service it must feel better well it really did!!!!!

@Mark G No you can't, false economy it will simply come back and bite you. + one on the tyres when mine come up for change shall be using the same.

Also had the 300h as a courtesy car in Feb, the ISF felt great to get back into.

Very impressed with the Continental Sport Contact 6, but I can only compare them to Vredstein and Hankook.
