    Re: Informal Days Out

    Well the chances of me coming on the Vantage have just died a death.

    Took it for a service and MOT yesterday. Wasn't expecting any issues. However.....they found that one of the front springs has snapped, right at the base. No signs whilst driving, no noises, tracked straight etc.

    They want ?700 for a spring!! But it got better. I pointed out tht my car had the 'sports pack' suspension fitted as a later upgrade. 'Ah well you see sit with those you can't get the spring on it's own you need to buy the whole damper - that will be just over ?1500 please!

    Really we should do the paid but seeing that the car is such low miles (the suspension has only been on it for 17k) they reckon I'll get away with just doing one.

    So with the ?700 service, the MOT and the new shock I'm in for a hell of a bill when I collect it next Wed.
