Suspension, 420 GBP
Garage advice is that this is
- mainly due to state of the roads locally (and across the UK)
- partly due to speed humps and the speed at which you drive over them
- partly just wear and tear
Amounts are in GBP
70000 mi
£150
one suspension strut (i think)
83000 mi
£250
shock absorbers
Also got garage to checkout a squeak - turned out to be harmless, brake disc small amount of rust, not worth fixing.
All done whilst in for service and MOT.
