What have you spent on the coop in the last month?

Has anyone treated the coop over the last month ??

Ive just ordered a new Radiator, clutch Slave cylinder and an oil filter from alternative autos, very helpful bloke, and pleasure to deal with !!! Now seeing as i have had my coop for around a month (13th dec i bought it) i have just worked out what ive spent in a month.......

Clutch £466
FMIC £325
Radiator, Cylinder, oil filter £150
Gear knob £45
Chip and PRV Valve £55
35mm lowering springs £115
Dump Valve £90
Bung £10

So all that comes too £1256 !!!! ssshhhh dont tell the misses !!!!!

Over the last month not too much just road tax I guess. If you include the last 6 months its well over 2.5k

Tartandude what did you get for your 2.5k if you dont mind me asking ? Do you feel you got good value for money ? i.e a good selection of parts for your 2.5k or was it on one item ?

Insurance, £348.

Don't mind you asking at all

Had to get a replacement engine and get it fitted etc so..

Engine - 900ish
Car Transport - 350ish
Fitting Labour - 600ish
Oil Cooler Pipes - 130ish (Can't remember)
Replacement Manifold - 110ish
Thermostat - can't remember
Phase Sensor - can't remember
Lots of oil changes/filters and other bits I can't remember

And 2 weeks before the engine went I got new alloys, brake discs, pads, blueflame exhaust etc so expensive year for the coop!

Edited to add: Car is getting shocks/springs fitted today but I didn't pay for that it was my Xmas pressie so not including that

Actually none since october or something like that, insurance i due this month...

That sounds like you had abit of bad luck with the car tartandude, what happened to the old engine ?

I havent finished yet, got to sort an exhaust out but i think i will leave that until i have fitted the pile of parts ive got gathering in the dining room !!! 2 weeks today i think ill book a weekend off and get the bits fitted

Have a read here

last couple of months I've spent about £2.5k too, probably another £1k in the next month or so!

I've spent more in the last couple of months than the number of miles I've done in it

Tartandude that seems bad luck on a low miled engine !!! The joy of owning a coop eh !!

In the last month, just £250 on a set of leather because the tops of the cloth back seats were sunburnt.

Last year, don't ask.

Pete

I too have spent £2.5K over the last year. Just keeping the thing on the road! Is it all worth it? Dont know

In the last month, err..2 new Pirellis (£80 each)1 wheel refurb - £60 -(caught the kerb in the Exeter multi-storey), insurance (Bell, £325 fully comp)and petrol.
But new rear brake lines and exhaust are looming.

Last month £20 on new (to me anyway) mats, or was that the month before?

Just about to order new discs and pads, insurance due and will be getting some sparkly new belts in March. So not exactly nothing.

Did get new suspension, tyres all round, a freshly painted rump, alloy refurb and some HIDs last year though.

Anyway in direct answer to your question the coop got some second hand mats for Christmas.

....where does it ever end ??

and to top it off, I even booked a test drive in another italian car, I must be fcuuking mad

There is some serious money that been spent in just a month, but for me hand on heart this is my first fiat so its very new to me and i have had my far share of hot hatches in the past, but not one gives me the buzz my coop does !!! It comes on boost so smooth and goes like a rocket !!! One of my mates saw it and said "that wont beat my T5 auto, what is it anyway ?" I took him down the road for a quick spin.............................."fcuk me" he said "that goes really well, my T5 wouldnt stand a chance"

So my plans for the coop after the money ive spent so far ??? Spend more......................

Just 5 litres of Silkolene Pro S 10w50 oil.

4 tyres then new years eve i slide her into the outside of a rather diesel soiled roundabout so

tyres £225

oh the joys of motoring!

New gearknob, £16 from carlt
Pioneer stereo, complete with iPod nano 2gb and iPod adapter, £110
JBL speakers, about £50, Xmas present from b/f

Think that's it lately...

This month is looking to be expensive.

New oil cooler and pipes, apparently 250 quid just for the part, plus the regular service (errr delayed from November) oh and I need some more oil and just bought two new tyres..Before that four new wheels (all back to standard)..

Well it was looking quiet good, with my only outgoing being insurance for the year ~ £450.

Then my power steering belt broke on Jan 3rd, and as normally happens it took out the cam belt and caused a small bit of head damage. So the car is currently with Roger awaiting his tender care.

I already need a new exhaust (waiting for the blue flame GB to go live), and the car was going to have a respray this year, really looking quite tatty at the moment.

So all in i think i'll be spending a little more than the car is worth in the next few months. Ah well, at least it's a car I love and over the 9 years or so of ownership i haven't had to spend very much on it.

Billies £380
Top Mounts £120
Labour £200 (estimating)
Service £200

Total £900

Ahh well its what student loans are for.

Apart from petrol nothing at all, although I do have road tax at the end of the month - paid for by TD's other half so not too bad.

Petrol - about £50?
Tax - £104 (inc credit card charge)
MOT (on Thursday)- £52
But Friday the power steering belt went so it's in the garage to have that done, no idea on cost but the tow to the garage will be about £50. Plus the MOT had an advisory saying I need two new tyres on the front so that's a £120+ bill in the next few weeks.

As someone once said on here as to what to look at when you buy a coupé - your bank account as it will never look so good!

Race Cat & S/S system
MOT
4x 215/35/18 toyo T1R's
Silver centre console/ashtray
clutch slave
thermostat
header tank

probably some othe bits

around the £1200+ mark

Picked up the car and it was £35 for the tow and £71 for two new belts and fitting. (so that's the new brake discs from the group buy out the window ) Then this morning the belts were squealing like a pig in a slaughter house so it's back at the garage! Bloke said it wasn't the belts but something else. If I didn't know and trust him I would say he was pulling a fast one.

When a belt squeals is coz its slipping so it cant be anything else, think he's trying to pull a fast one !!!

He thinks it's the tensioner and not the belts. He's done as much as he can and said if it carried on it was a "main dealer" job. So a trip to Motor-Mech then....
