Time to pay up and look big as Pirate would say!
I decided to pay the car bill in person...to remind myself of which of my neighbour's grandsons this was...and to see his garage set-up.
The group of units now have new buildings!! The local estate has invested...and there is a good tarmac road down to it...I remember it as a gravel road not long ago!!
It does explain why the bill is a bit higher than my local garage would have charged....plus it is nearer the town.
It was about £880 !! But getting the car lifted cost £100... labour £520...parts £213...and Value Added Tax adds 20%to everything.
Another run out for the car, dual carriageway driving this time.
Up to the West Kilbride Gallery to check if we have any sales in the exhibition.
plus coffee and cake and meeting a fellow potter and cyclist as she had a book that I wanted to buy!
On the way home then the car developed a squeak!! Back to my usual garage...the back plate to a brake has shifted a little..so he'll sort that on Wednesday.
Back home for washing, lunch and more cleaning!!
