Annual service and MOT for mine today. No advisories, but I had a new thermostat fitted. The coolant gauge reads ninety degrees when driving on the motorway now! Waiting to find out if it means mpg has improved slightly...!

Got my car back from the garage after getting the cam chain and tensioner replaced. I can't believe how much quieter the car is! Back to loving my car again  :driver:

How much?

Did you just get it changed because the noise was annoying you?
