It was considerably less than the last bills,but have just been quoted £2,000 for the car to be done so swings and roundabouts.

Question Author

something to do with the starter motor. Its a 5 year old Focus. diesel engine.
(TDX CDI) I think . I dont drive but my husband is back soon so it has to be done for when he gets home. I know last time he was home he looked up whatever it was and the part alone was £800.

tonyav

He's never done his cars,doesn't like doing it,and when he's home we need it (That means I need a chauffeur)

tonyav

I'd volunteer to chauffeur you while your car is off the road but I have a feeling that you probably live some distance from me.

Meanwhile I'll borrow from Peter and probably Paul to pay the garage bill.

tonyav

It does sound expensive though giveup.

Question Author

We are using the garage we've always used,they are very good,best in the area. I think the £2000 is the worst case scenario but we have to be prepared.

tonyav

Ok giveup fingers crossed for you that it doesn't cost £2,000, good luck.
