So I booked a 60,000 km service for my Tiggy some 4 weeks ago and finally got to drop it off this morning.... I was taken through the usual run down on costs etc.... approx $1,075 due to the it being the first major service etc etc, knew it was coming so no worries..... all good.

HOWEVER

I get a call at 1pm this afternoon to say....... ontop of the normal service we found the front discs and pads need replacing, the rear pads need replacing and a CV boot has sprung a leak and also needs replacing not to mention the Haldex oil as well .... now being all wear parts there is no warranty claims possible so it quickly became a $2,500 exercise!!

Hope I win something at the Melbourne Cup tomorrow!
