Honestly, iv'e never known anything to consume money at a faster rate than this car  :laugh:

£2K on tyres is just the tip of the iceberg, it's the 5K a year on fuel that really stings!  :grin:

Tell me about it... what do you recommend?  :grin:

At least once its had this service (which i think i'm going to stagger strategically [service/DSG] [cambelt]) it will be good for a while.

The expense is worth it.
