The Flying Pig is back home, complete with a big fat bill. Actually, it wasn’t as bad as I expected. They replaced the front brake pads and warning wires, plus the nearside front lower wishbone needed changing and the bolts wouldn’t budge. New bolts cost £18 and a new wishbone £105, plus there was an interim service and £250 worth of labour. In all, it cost just over £600 to keep the old thing going. I think it was worth it. Mrs Bangernomics certainly approves and is pleased to have it back, as she rightly refuses to touch any other members of the fleet.
