note to self-promise not to rant,its not good for me!!

right......ffs how fking much,just done the cambelt,aux belt and pas belt on my 4x4 diesel slag...€95 for the cambelt and €40 for the other 2.never ceases to amaze me how a gates belt can be over 100% more expensive here.brake pads and filters and other normal consumables all seem a rip off too.

whilst i was at the parts place i did have a little wise old chuckle when a few local lads decided against an oil filter for their '98 ibiza and bought a chrome aerial and washer jet covers-when i got outside they were in the street fitting their new tat,it was chuck up yellow with some stunning tribal stickers and 2 tyres that were smoother than nigel havers-talk about priorities.

Another rip off here on the Islands is tyres, just don't buy any always get from the U.K.

Ever found a tyre fitter thet doesn't scratch your nice alloys?

[cabbron]

tyre fitters,don't start me-my local once put me some yoko advans on the wrong direction and the balance weights caught on the calipers!!!-yes i know in certain circles reversing the direction is the done thing apparently but hungover paco who looks 60 but is acctually 35 couldn't possibly have such knowledge surely lol.

I normally use http://www.oscaro.es probably not the cheapest place in the world, but fairly efficient and delivery was no problem.
