So had the beast 6 months now and everything's gone pretty smoothly..
Mileage is now just under 80,000 (I've put just 3000 on that!) and managed an average mpg of 18.3
Brake fluid has been changed to ATE super blue, had a pair of new uprated sway bar brackets fitted (shipped from beastpower.com)
New heater fan resistor
New rear view mirror (old one was bubbling and would've soon leaked and melted my dash)
Folding mirror motors replaced as the old ones get stuck sometimes
New brake light lamp - costly
New battery
Above work was mainly carried out by the highly respected PMW ltd. of Chelmsford, at different times but coming in at approx. £1300, with my bill only being £500 thanks to APA warranty on the car (which sadly expires today after 6 months!).
Had a couple of dents (previous owner) taken out at the bodyshop, and a boot dent after a bloody firework hit it coming in at £280
£1000 of fuel (Shell V-power)
All in all, not too bad.. Just got a rattling under the hand brake when it accelerates, something to do with a ring that holds the drive shaft or something which I'm told isn't serious but does need the exhaust taking off to get to! Dreading that!
And below photos shows the weather.. Don't think I'll be driving it anywhere for celebrating 6 months!!
