The service has been done but theres some bad news.

The inlet manifold gasket?? has gone and water is getting into the engine. Probably the reason why its losing coolant!

The engine heatshield is cracked and the cat is rattling in the downpipe.

Wiper blades are shot and needs front tyres.

All in all, it needs about £500 to put right after just spending £340...

I was told it needed doing asap as it could corrode the engine and exhaust but with MOT and insurance due it will have to wait a few months.

What mileage is on it? Doesn't sound too bad overall, wear and tear is inevitable for a 6 year old.

Lates and his guys are very good, I was looking to sound them out for my cambelts at the end of the year as they are due. Mine passed the 50k barrier yesterday.
