Hi Guys,
Just had the Bravo serviced for the first time since buying it in November. Always daunting when you're getting a second hand car at the best of times...
Anyway, I had high hopes all would be well, but not the case. Need both front lower suspension arms replacing as there was play in both causing the car to pull to the left on occaisions and has balded the inside of both front tyres. Is this an easy enough job to do at home? Or do I need to take it in? I was quoted £290 to fix that.
Also, this is the one that's annoyed me. I bought the car under the impression the timing belt/pump were done in Feb 15, it's in the service book as having it done. But, from today i've been told the water pump is leaking and need a new timing belt and pump kit put on. Anyone had this happen before? Does it sound possible after only being on the car for a year?
Cheers,
Mark
