    Exhaust fixed - family discount means it was £86 for labour and parts. Phew. Not what we wanted but could've been a lot worse...
  • Well done everyone for the amazing payments!

    Congrats Gunwarf on reaching 50%!

    And congrats spagbol on getting to 1%!

    I think some of my payments are still set to come out on the first, so I'll assess how much I can afford then.
