They were £665. They were £725 in when I bought them a couple of months ago. They've gone up again.
The first set that turned up I had to send back. The discs were all dented.
I read that Esso's premium fuel will remain ethanol free. I just checked on their website and I can see it's only ethanol free in certain regions just now.
There's a big difference between a private sale and buying from a main dealer with warranty.
The car at the dealer was also newer and 1/4 of the mileage. Dealers aren't commanding that kind of money for cars with less miles.
Six is more choice than ever. It'll be interesting to see how long...
There is now six R on Autotrader. The latest two are private sales. I guess the higher prices are tempting more owners to sell.
I think both will struggle badly to get their valuations.
Small garages that don't know about the car will probably only offer book value for the car. They'll have the margin to fix the brakes at current prices.
If you're doing it yourself the R plugs can be picked up for £50 and it's a quick job. Ask a garage to do it as part of a service and the plugs are a silly RRP. The labour charge won't be 15 minutes.
I don't think people realise that the plugs need changed every year on the R.
Car owners and...
EBC yellowstuff are a bit cheaper, but I'm not confident with EBC. Others rate them. They are about £110.
There is a set of DS2500 on eBay for £175. Godspeed are £185.
Like most things quality costs. There's even more expensive pads if you're doing track days.
Plugs are every year on the R. I'm sure it'll be commonly skipped. Mine had Mini plugs in it when I checked. Obviously the dealer scrimped on paying for the right ones.
The servicing is annual or by mileage. If you're wanting to retain value and warranty it'll need the full service history.
I hope it's a good one. Enjoy.
There's a Cat N write off project on eBay for £10k too. I started watching a video on YouTube about the guy who bought it to fix up.
I wonder why he's abandoned it part fixed?
It's the same car. It's the one I've posted a picture of with the with a strange cut out of the inner wheel arch and wing. The cut out is still there, but they've taken better pictures to avoid it.
The new advert has only been posted today. The car hasn't changed ownership since the original...
