Talking about parts the price of genuine front discs continue to rise.

RRP is now £674 per disc and Fish Brothers have them for £560 each. £1120 for a pair of brake discs.

Price worth paying in my view for superb brakes, no price difference compared to any other marque.

Start worrying when they are not available anymore like the headlights, meanwhile I would stock up, buy extra before they become obsolete. I am sure the alloys will go the same way.

A few years ago I'm sure they were as low as £650. Every time I double check they have gone up in price. £1348 RRP is very expensive. So is £1120.

You can get two piece floating Brembo brakes for a Nissan GTR for half the price. Genuine Audi RS3 2 piece discs are less than half the price.

Time for a change now Kerr, running a R as a daily is financial stupidity. Collectors car with low mileage absolutely, but the Z is no 205 GTI in terms of future value.

I miss my R in a way, not sure why, but when I sold we used the money to buy the required grandchild chariot, the rest I used to buy a genuine 1 owner TTS Mk 2, for little money I may add, it’s faster and cheaper to run, plus it’s a nicer place to be at the wheel.

I will always for some weird reason fight a corner for the R, but to me it’s a track car, and just doesn’t do everything good on a daily basis, clutch pedal position on the right hand drive car takes away what a great car it should be.

My 200 Sport's road tax is now £255 ! The only reason I haven't sold it is just spent £2700 have the head refurbed new chain water pump hoses & full service plugs coils oil so can't recover those costs at present time

Apart from the very expensive brakes most of the running costs of the R are fine. Many cars run 19" tyres, servicing isn't too bad, road tax is fine, insurance is low, and fuel economy can be really good if you're driving normally.

A proper track car is a lot more focussed than the R. A track car isn't good on the road for normal driving.

My daily at the moment is a little BMW i3. I thought I'd have a laugh and try a little EV. My partner had free charging at her work so I thought I'd give it a bash.

It's an older one with the range extender. For a short commuter or town/city car it really works. It so easy to jump in and out, great visibility and tiny turning circle.

It's also nippy up to about 50mph.
