    So much that you're going to have to sell the middle acoustic in your recent photos to pay for it?

  • Cost me £350 in 2020 so I'm guessing about £1000 and a kidney nowadays.

    I had to get a new alternator, water pump, timing belt, ancilliary belt and tensioners on my lowly 10 year old bog standard Fiat Punto at a fairly large and busy non-dealership MOT garage and it came to just under £600 without VAT, seeing as the guy likes cash so much and knows I'm not an Inland Revenue employee.  I would imagine your Skoda Yeti would cost around £520 inc VAT for the fewer things that needed replaced.

    Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
