Mine's due soon - I'm having sleepless nights over what might happen!

£700 last year and a couple the year before that - the rust seems to be winning the argument!

Well done you though and I'll keep my fingers crossed

I wish you luck with it !

Well I have had my big pay out last year (and it was a big one :x ) that's it for while I hope. I do my pre-checks of all that could be an obvious fail (bulbs, wipers, lights, washer tank, wind screen chips, mirrors, seat belts, tyres) fine, I am always on top of rust) and you kind of get a feeling for suspension and steering if it is solid or not (noises/vibrations/judders etc.) and fortunately ours seems tight and robust in its feel to drive so I suspected it was all ok. Body work is second to none for its age. And only so much can wear out in 4-5K miles a year. Had a tiny welding patch done by the same local garage (Then I POR15'd along 1 sill) and they did a nice little job on that so I try catch these rust related things early.

May a trouble free Bongoing year continue. Fingers crossed for all.
