|  Garage Bill Arrived! The dreaded thud on the doormat heralded the arrival of the garage bill today  Must admit it wasn't quite as bad as I'd thought: To supply and fit cambelt, tensioner, and water pump, track rod end and offside wheelbearing, anti-roll bar bushes and stabiliser links. To fit driveshaft, and front tyres (customer supplied). Sundry materials. £580 inc VAT  Driveshaft cost me £322 from Skoda.  On the whole I suppose it wasn't too bad and I fitted the brake discs and pads myself. Cheers, Steve

| Re: Garage Bill Arrived! Must admit was actually pleasantly surprised at how reasonable it was dread to think how much a main dealer would have been. Cheers, Steve

| Re: Garage Bill Arrived! STrange you needed the shaft itself as the CVs usually go first.
