    Wow, I almost feel embarrassed ranting about my small bill when you guys have forked out so much cash on car repairs!

    It's nice to have somewhere to take your car that you trust and you must really love your car Harrision to use a local Peugeot dealer. Sounds like a nice bunch of people though, which is always nice, and of course you have better piece of mind.

    My Honda VTI had full service history by official dealers up to 90,000 miles, then I started seeking out local garages as beyond that they start to get expensive! The thing is, I'm not a cheap-skate in general day to day living, certainly don't count every penny.

    My blood boils only when it comes to paying garages, solicitors and certain trade men who come to your house and charge by the hour. Then I become Mr Cynical, the markup and profit margins are completely disgusting at times.

    That is very true. At least with a main dealer you have more of a guarantee than a local garage if anything they do turns out to not be OK. And actually the prices are not that different. I used to use a small family run garage near my house and although the labour charges were lower, they had to order in all the parts needed as they didn't hold anything in stock due to servicing any make of car. That meant having to sometimes wait a couple of days without a car while they got the parts, and the parts often costing more due to having to have them delivered.

    And yes, I do really like the car. It was quite a rare model when I bought it and it took some time to find a good one. And so I've kept it in good condition ever since. Also I'm not one to change my car every year just to have the latest number plate or newer model. I tend to find a car I really like and love driving and then keep it until it's not worth repairing any longer. I did that with my last car, which I had until it was 11 years old, and I'm doing the same with this one, although I have to say this one is ageing better, with much less faults or issues than the last I had. I am however planning to change it either next year or the year after for a Pug 407 Coupe 2.7D.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
