TIL they needed "servicing" - I'm still not sure where £1k comes from after watching this:

It was getting close to £20,000 one year for my dad to service his vehicles. Then Covid happened so we starting doing them all ourselves. Collecting Cars also helped convince us to do it ourselves as we’d see all sorts of cars with massive service gaps but buyers seemingly didn’t mind. Although a lot of it was Targa Florio who then listed those cars a month later on their own website with full service history. Wild times!
But I document everything thoroughly and include photos. Use the best oil and parts and know it’s done right.
How about not having a sig at all?

I doubt the labour is much under £300/hr these days. They need to clean the hub splines too. Say 45 mins each + £100 of special grease. It's there or thereabouts.

:shock: This isn’t increasing my opinion on the use of centre locks for road cars. :?

I don’t like the 992.2 GTS centre lock wheels.. glad I don’t have that to worry about on my fictional car! 😁
Cheers,
