Squiggle, yes, tyres amongst other things. The coolant leak is costing £170, so it's quite easy to get to £400. Although I haven't seen potholes that deep, there are potholes all over the place. The council patches them up, but as soon as they've done one, another appears. They really should resurface the roads generally, but cuts rule that out. It's not helped by the severe winters in recent years, not that this winter is particularly bad (to date).
I better make a move to pick the car up as it will take a good hour to get there.
