I did get caught out with the SMG pump failing which was a pricey fix, made somewhat more opportunist for the dealer since the car was locked in gear so would have been a nightmare for me to get it to UB - had to AA it to the local stealer for bumrapage. Given that the SMG has just been done, realistically I think I'm only "at risk" on the engine. Shimmy has posted up elsewhere you can get a 2nd hand motor for £3k, I'll hold him to that then ;-) I guess the saving grace is that its not a FI engine - they seem to be far happier at lightening your wallet ! preventative maintenance is my friend, so regular fluid changes and check ups. Oh and the car as well ;-) |

Exactly , just bought 6l of oil and will change it myself every 6k.
Might even get the oil sampled It's pot luck as best though.
