Timing belt and all ancilaries done at 121000 miles. I've just had a full service done and my mechanic (not fahys) said it was one of the cleanest examples he'd seen. I think this says a lot considering it's an Irish car from new.
On the down side, someone took a chunk out of my perfect paint this afternoon in a car park... I'm slightly miffed, to say the least. |

If it's been serviced in Fahys, then you're on to a winner!

I've added nearly 12 more at this stage but the only one I didn't like was 30; seemed too much like the end of an era... (edit: Of course it wasn't - you'll be alright, celebrate). Happy Birthday!!! Edited by larzyh |

Yup, original dealers stickers in place and everything. I was very impressed by the old style log book. It feels much more official than the one page jobby we have now. |
