I am a woose!! average life of tyre and cost to replace-------around 10k miles + or - 5K about £150 each realistic fuel consumption (especially round town)------20 - 25mpg servicing costs------ as much as you want to pay P2 services around £200 and finally residuals after 3 years at 20k/year.-------- look in the Autotrader 3 year old cars are fetching around £16K your never going to convince your wife these are cheap to run, so may as well give up that angle just buy one and dont tell her Quote

rosco Posted June 1, 2006 Author Posted June 1, 2006 Cheers Tim, much appreciated. Mike - I may just have to arrive home in it. You may hear the fall out from where ever you are. Alan Quote
Removed Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 the RE040 will last you forever mate, hardest wearing peices of shite ever! town driving more like high teens mpg servicing costs here in the NW= P1 £100 P2 £120 using your own oil P3 supposed to be the most expnsive but only needs to be done after either 4 years or 36k miles Quote
rosco Posted June 1, 2006 Author Posted June 1, 2006 Thanks for that. I will check out a local supplier for the REO40's. Do the main dealers differ greatly in their pricing and is supplying your own oil something that they just put up with if you insist? Alan Quote
Liam's Z Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Rosco - with no track days just general driving I'm up 13,500 miles on the Bridgestones... Reckon I've got a couple of mm on the rears with about 3.5mm on the fronts... Kwick-fit quoted £470, thats with 25% off for 4 new Perilli Pzero's!!!! Oh and a puncture cost £17.5 If you do have a flat like I did, it's also difficult 2 spot!!! 70mph with 10psi in the tyre car was still rock solid Quote
rosco Posted June 2, 2006 Author Posted June 2, 2006 Cheers Liam - It just gets better. How long have you had your Z? Quote
M13KYF Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Cheers Tim, much appreciated. Mike - I may just have to arrive home in it. You may hear the fall out from where ever you are. Alan Turn and and tell her that your taking her shopping. End of... It will be worth the credit card bashing for one day. Quote
Liam's Z Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Cheers Liam - It just gets better. How long have you had your Z? Just over 12 months m8t Quote
