I found this. I'd a Volvo S40 T5 2.5 Turbo and anything other than basic maintenance required a specialist. Same with my Clio RS200 and RS197 and MG ZT v6.

Too much hassle and i hadnt the time or inclination to work on them myself.

I assume you have deep pockets then?

Depends what you call basic maintenance. Oil and spark plugs are easy enough I'd have thought (at least once you've found them)
It does depend how much time, money and inclination you have though. And how near a specialist is if you're driving things that are less mainstream.

I just bung mine into the garage myself these days. Not that it's anything special.

Yes, its funny that, given it was a brand new M2 you'd expect it simply to have been replaced?

But no....

Maybe hes saving up for a Mighty M3?

I think the fantasy car was a year old. He was bragging about the great deal he had against new list price. Still for a car like that, I'd have taken out replacement GAP insurance through someone other than the dealer...but then he reckons he got full payout from insurers...
