Welp, Bruce has had his almost-everything fixed. Most notably the... link pins. Which were BROKEN. And they I think attach the wheels to the axle or something else relatively vital. So that's what was making the alarming and expensive sounding clunk from the front suspension area. Those on their own were $140*, then there was another bit they attached to that was $90, so all that was making the wheels wobble dangerously (which Col and I can attest to, being that the steering wheel shook when taken above about 90kph) and so the front tyres were just about bald, so THEY were $250 to replace. So that was the expensive sounding clunk done, yay.
Also had the power steering done, which has been brought to our attention but not vital for the last two services, so figured that'd be worth getting done, and~ the automatic transmission has been fixed, and~ the hole in the exhaust has been fixed.
Bringing us to a bottom line of $1070.50* \o/ Less expensive than we were expecting! And they cleaned our windscreen wiper nozzles for no cost, so that was nice of them. Cos UltraTune's in tune with me and my car.
We did not spend the $800 on the 'back end' as he called it. Apparently something's going there, but it'll be fine til the next service, so let Colin worry about that.
* Just so you know, our dollar's not as shit as it once was. We've hit parity with the US$, so $1070.50 for us is actually a tad over $1070.50 for you now, and to the Pommy pound we're about where we used to be with the US$, so $1070.50 is about 700 quid.
