Yesterday I heard a knocking sound coming from the back whenever I drove over a speed bump. On checking, found out that my exhaust pipe had come loose.
Went over to the workshop and they did a temporary fix and asked me to come in the morning for servicing the car.
So early this morning I left my car at the workshop. According to my Service guide, it was also time to change the camshaft drive belt (also known as the timing belt). I was shocked when I found out that it would cost me £125 (inclusive of £60 service charge).
I was really happy when Mr. Isfaq, the boss at the workshop told me that the timing belt had been changed early last year according to a sticker on the engine and after opening the engine, he had confirmed that it was still new. I saved quite a bit.
Isfaq showed me the old oil filter. It was filthy and looked like it had never been changed since the previous owner bought the car.
I paid £100 (considered very reasonable) for everything including the parts and service charges. This also includes 2 new wipers and for fixing the exhaust.
Actually felt a big difference in the car's performance when I drove back.
Thanks a lot guys.
I whole heartedly recommend:
