maybe I should chop it in for something less common

Ironic - sorted that alternator yet? Are you sure it's the whole thing and not the diode pack? (I would have replied on FB, but I'm at work and so not REALLY supposed to be on the internet.)

Ordered a new one now...Another £70 spent!Ironic - sorted that alternator yet? Are you sure it's the whole thing and not the diode pack? (I would have replied on FB, but I'm at work and so not REALLY supposed to be on the internet.)

In the space of 7 days I've called a Recovery truck 3 times.
Spent £200 on labour
£150 on getting my car out of a police compound
£120 on a battery
£70 on tyres
£105 on tax
& spent far too long having to drive the boss's wife's Renault Scenic. Actually I've driven the Scenic more than my own car the past 7 days.

So far this month, my 800 (which has not turned a wheel since the end of September) will have cost me:
Cat - £60 all in
MOT - £50
Whatever the charge to fix the bust headlight, probably another £50
Tax - £125
Plus it will need 2 new tyres at £75 each as well in the next month or so.
And this is WITHOUT anything major going wrong.
Still it has a long way to catch up with my old 220 - that regularly got bills in excess of £600 every other month. But I loved it so dearly...
