I have spent £495 in maintenance for the omega.
Includes:
4 new tyres, 4 oil and filter changes, 1 air filter, pads all round, aux belt tensioner, PAS pump and 2 front discs.
This is for 2 years and 24000 miles. Only thing not included is tax, mot and fuels.
I think that is not bad :y
-
access to TC, and doing most jobs DIY saves a considerable amount of money. Running the 3 we have DIY is cheaper than just sending one to a garage.

Sounds like a fair balance.... ;)

I don't wana piss on your strawberrys Paul.
In just over two years i've serviced my Omega & that's been it.
She's been one of the most reliable cars i've owned :y

TBH it's not too bad... Cambelt kit, Cam Cover Gaskets and full service when I first got it, along with wishbones and 4 tyres, WIM Treatment, lots of services, LPG Conversion, another 3 Tyres, More servicing, 2 MOT's, More servicing, Steering Idler, More servicing ::) ::)
But, I've done 45K in it now, about 30k on LPG, saving approx 10p/mile, so have essentially still saved money running it so far :y :y

I reckon I've saved more running on LPG than the entire servicing/maintenance costs thus far :y :y :y
-
I've spent double that in just 6 months :'( Does this mean on that rate that I'm now going to get 4 years of trouble-free motoring? :-/
-
I've spent more than that in one month - glad when it's all done ::)
I used to do my own repairs with a hammer, screwdriver and feeler gauge but i think you need more than that to fix cars these days.....better leave it to the professionals ;)
oh - i had an A/F socket set too :y
