Had the MOT for the Beemer last week. New pads, discs and handbrake shoes (first time the handbrake has worked properly for as long as I can remember!). New back tyres and a couple of other things and I'm a grand worse off but the car looks mint. RAC Autowindscreens are changing the chipped screen out at the moment which, along with the new number plates I've got in the boot, will make the car look like new.
Lots of money but much better than the depreciation on a new car..
