How much do you save for car repairs?

Front disc brakes are easy peasy to replace, one little screw bolt holds the disks on, two bolts hold the caliper, pads, are held in by two pins and a spring, simple but mucky job.


Now drum brakes are a different kettle of fish.......too many springs and things lol

I once turned up at my best friend's house and their tumble dryer wasn't working. We agreed that we could probably fix it as we both knew how to fix cars. I mean, how hard could it be? Anyway, we proceeded to take the tumble dryer to pieces. I remember us saying "let's take one more piece out"...The long and short of it is that we couldn't work out how to put the thing back together again. There were just too many parts lying on the kitchen floor. His missus went berserk when she came in lol. Oh...happy days...

Usually the heating element or condenser that goes.


Been fixing mine for years, then last month it started blowing fuses, i think the mice must of been nibbling somewhere, as it was in the garage, so it took its final journey to the tip now, and i bought a washing line.

I put aside £100 pcm for my car - it's about 15 yrs old Peugeot and I do a lot of mileage for my job. It more than covers my costs
