... it now stands at £30 for a trim....

You can get beard trimmers in Lidl for £12, I'm sure it's doggy friendly LOL

a load of old donkeys

My God !!,

If it's £30 to have a Yorkie trimmed, what does she charge for a donkey ? 🤣

Actual exhaust prices from Mr Tyres:

Cat back SS system £450.
Cat back standard fully fitted £200.

After looking at the exhausts they supply & fit I've decided to go with a standard exhaust, the £250 can be spent on a cam belt change instead, I've wised up that the car is just not worth the extra cash.

Look quite decent for either option, and certainly beats the response you got from Ford!😀

Car goes in tomorrow! Fingers crossed it won't take them long! Soon be checking it afterwards though, once had a bad experience in having an exhaust fitted [not at Mr Tyres]

Exhaust fitted within an hour with a 3 year guarantee, checked the exhaust and it looks properly installed, no bodging, no banging, plus I can't believe how much quieter the car is now, glad I've taken the standard route now so the money can be spent on a new cam belt.

You get the same guarantee from a Ford Dealership but after now getting another email the actual costs from Ford would have been £470 inc VAT or £392 ex VAT, plus labour which can't be totted up until after the job has been completed

So ''Mr Tyres'' on Chesterfield Road in Mansfield is a decent place to get a car sorted, saying that I've never had a problem.
